-The Legend of Heroes Series- [INT01]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Legend of Heroes series is a long running Japanese Role Playing
Game from Nihon Falcom, a company famous for its Ys titles in the
West. Its origin can be traced all the way back to 1989, although
during that time, it was named Dragon Slayer and was not widely
popular in comparison to other JRPGs like Final Fantasy or Dragon
Quest.
It was not until 1994 did the series' popularity start to rise
within the RPG community. Falcom successfully captured gamers'
attention with its release of The Legend of Heroes: Prophecy of the
Moonlight Witch on the PC, which featured beautiful and detailed 2D
graphics, catchy melodies and most important of all, a fantastic
story that left many hungering for more. The next two games, along
with Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch, were collectively called the
Gagharv Trilogy due to the many different ties each game shares
with the other. This triology, according to many veterans, is
regarded as the peak of the series, and is probably the driving
force behind its remake on the PlayStation Portable in 2004.
The remakes of Gagharv Triology were brought over by Namco Bandai
to North America in 2006. Fans were initially overjoyed, but later
found out that the localization was poorly done. Mistranslated plot,
spelling errors and other jarring problems marred the otherwise
decent games, and left horrible impressions in many new comers'
minds.
While the remakes were being released sequentially in Japan in 2004,
the next Legend of Heroes game was already set in motion for launch.
Titled The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (or Eiyuu Densetsu
VI: Sora no Kiseki First Chapter), this new line brought numerous
changes to the franchise: 3D backgrounds with 2D sprites, new turn-
based battle system, and of course, a new story that would appear to
span more than a single game (as suggested by its title).
Sora no Kiseki became an instant success in Japan, scoring high on
various review sites. The cliff hanger ending in First Chapter
itched fans to no end, and guaranteed the sequel's sale. In 2006,
Eiyuu Densetsu VI: Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter went gold. The
story continued from where the First Chapter left off, tied up some
of the messes and loose ends while opening up new questions for the
next sequel: Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kieski the 3rd, which went on
sale a year later.
Although the 3rd was included as part of the Trails Trilogy, it
actually served as an introduction to yet another "sequel", Zero no
Kiseki, that was developed and released for the PSP in 2010. Dengeki
Online Award 2010 ranked Zero no Kiseki in the 5th place in the Most
Interesting Game of 2010 Department, demonstrating its popularity in
Japan. In March, 2011, Falcom revealed that the sequel to Zero no
Kiseki, Eiyuu Densetsu: Ao no Kiseki, is currently under development
and will be released on September 29, 2011 for the PSP, again.
In 2010, XSEED Games obtained localization rights of Falcom games
in North America, and subsequently announced their plans for
releasing the Trails Triology on the PSP. The First Chapter, now
named The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, will be released on
March 29, 2011. While the native platform for the triology was the
PC, Falcom's port to the PSP retained most of its quality with
additional features (eg. voices for the First Chapter, which were
absent in the original PC version for Windows XP). With over 1.5
million texts and over 50 hours of play time for the First Chapter
alone, the Trails Triology will definitely rise up to be one of the
best RPGs in 2011 and beyond.

-Background Story- [INT02]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liberl is a nation with rich mineral resources, rapidly advancing
orbment technologies and beautiful scenary that attract numerous
visitors across the continent. The now seemingly peaceful country
was actually invaded by the Erebonian Empire to the north 10 years
ago. Although a temporary cease-fire was signed by both nations,
tensions have been gradually building not only internationally, but
within Liberl, as well.
Despite the numerous underlying problems, Liberl continues to thrive
prosperously. One of its booming businesses is tourism. However, due
to the increasing number of monster activities around towns, which
put many travellers' lives in danger, talented individuals hired by
the Bracer Guilds as means to protect the well-being of Liberl
citizens and visitors became one of the most popular jobs in the
nation.
The bracers act independently from the Royal Army, operate in small
squads, and can thus act as guerilla or special op teams to distract
enemies, evacuate citizens, infiltrate tightly guarded camps, etc.
should danger befall Liberl. The legendary general Cassius Bright,
who forced the Erebonian troops to withdraw 10 years ago by
employing a blitzkrieg-type tactic that cut off the enemy supply
line, is now a rank S bracer responsible for dealing with dangerous
and sometimes highly sensitive missions. Estelle Bright and Joshua
Bright, having trained under Cassius for almost five years, are now
ready to work as bracer trainees. How will their adventure unfold?
What sinister, dark forces are manipulating their fates, and how
do the two over come them? Time to pick up a copy of The Legend of
Heroes: Trails in the Sky and find out for yourself!

-Characters- [INT03]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Descriptions taken directly off the official English site for this
game: http://www.trailsinthesky.com/), courtesy to XSEED Games.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Estelle Bright
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
The protagonist of this adventure. Works as a bracer trainee and has
a bubbly personality with a never-give-up spirit and a general
tendency toward beelining straight for whatever her heart may desire.
She also tends to have a 'hit first and ask later' approach to life.
Five years ago her father, Cassius, brought home a young boy named
Joshua who quickly became like a brother to her. Well-trained in
martial arts, she wields a bo-style staff with incredible ease -
despite the fact that its length is greater than her own height.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Joshua Bright
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
A young man adopted into the Bright family five years ago. His jet-
black hair and amber-colored eyes give him a cool, somewhat distant
appearance. Has a very calm, rational disposition, which means he's
typically left running after his much flightier, more spontaneous
sister. Also works as a bracer trainee, and specializes in wielding
two blades at once.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Olivier Lenheim
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
A traveling musician from the northern suprepower of Erebonia.
Proficient in every instrument from piano to lute - and he loves to
flaunt that fact. Few are more narcissistic than he, and his
abundance of self-confidence often mixes with his tendency toward
absurdly inappropriate speech and behavior for an unfortunate
cocktail of mischief and mayhem.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Scherazard Harvey
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
A powerful bracer known to her peers by the nickname, "The Silver
Streak." Trained under Cassius, and is thought of as something of a
big sister by Estelle and Joshua. Only problem is, despite being a
very kind and caring woman at heart, she's also a VERY heavy drinker
- bringing with it a whole host of bad habits that tend to get her
in trouble.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Agate Crosner
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
A no-nonsense, in-your-face bracer known to his peers (for obvious
reasons) as the "Heavy Blade." Swings around a disproportionately
huge sword with ease, intimidating onlookers with his plainly
obvious might. Always has a sour expression on his face, and regards
novice bracers like Estelle and Joshua with a cold, superior and
somewhat disciplinary attitude.
o=o=o=o=o=o=
Tita Russell
o=o=o=o=o=o=
Professor Russell's granddaughter, and a real orbal prodigy. Has a
bright, innocent personality that ensures she's well-regarded by
just about everyone she meets. Despite her mature dispostion,
however, she can also be quite childish: when she sets her mind on
something, she becomes as obstinate as can be. In addition, if you
put her in front of any sort of machinery, she'll completely tune
out the world around her.
o=o=o=o=o
Kloe Rinz
o=o=o=o=o
A student at the Jenis Royal Academy in Ruan. On her days off, she
helps out at the local orphanage, and is regarded by the children
there as a reliable, gentle and kind young woman. Has a pet falcon
named Sieg who always remains by her side.
o=o=o=o=o=o
Zane Vathek
o=o=o=o=o=o
A burly martial-artist from the Calvard Republic in the east.
Although he works as a bracer, his real reason for coming to Liberl
is to participate in the annual Martial Arts Competition held in the
royal capital. Has a very clean-cut and approachable appearance, and
a kindly, big brother-esque demeanor. He's also rather fond of
comely lasses.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Cassius Bright
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Estelle's father. A middle-aged man sporting tight muscles and a
dandy mustache. Has worked as a bracer for many a moon, and now
serves as mentor to Estelle, Joshua and even Scherazard. Enjoys
drinking, exotic foods, and teasing Estelle.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Colonel Alan Richard
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Commander of the Royal Army's Intelligence Division. Possesses well-
steeled combat ability and is quite popular amonst the commoners as
a young ray of hope for Liberl's army.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Captain Kanone Amalthea
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
An officer in the Royal Army's Intelligence Divison, serving under
Colonel Richard. Seems to be a very loyal follower of his.
o=o=o=o=o=
Nial Burns
o=o=o=o=o=
A skilled reporter for the Liberl News. Perpetually sports a 5
o'clock shadow, and smokes like a chimney. Constantly explores
every nook and cranny of Liberl by airliner in search of the perfect
scoop. When teamed up with Dorothy, he's always on top of his game -
though often a bit out of sorts, as well.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Dorothy Hyatt
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
A photographer for the Liberl News, and a total airhead. Lives life
at her own pace and seems to enjoy every minute of it. Her skill
with the camer, though, is absolutely exceptional.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Professor Russell
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Tita's grandfather, and an orbal scholar living in the factory city
of Zeiss. A personal protege of Professor Epstein's, the man who
originally developed orbment. Directly responsible for the advent of
orbment processing and crafting technology. Becomes so enthralled
during the creative process that he blanks out the world around him
(much like his granddaughter!).

-Basic Gameplay Mechanics- [INT04]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Orbment/Quartz/Orbal Arts
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Orbments are basically devices that can utilize the energy from
Quartz to provide meaningful functions. In order to cast magics, or
Orbal Arts, as the game calls it, you need to equip your characters'
Orbment Slots with Quartz so that their Orbments can grant them
magical powers when required.
Quartz do not form naturally, most require synthesis at an Orbment
Factory. Quartz are synthesized from Sepiths, fragments of Septium
(a form of mineral) that comes in seven kinds:
1) Fire (Red)
2) Wind (Green)
3) Water (Blue)
4) Earth (Brown)
5) Time (Black)
6) Space (Golden)
7) Mirage (Silver)
You can obtain Sepiths from fallen enemies, some foes drop just one
kind of Sepith while others drop multiple kinds. Although Sepith can
also be found in teasure chests, you'll probably find yourself
grinding for them by killing the same enemy over and over again.
Depending on the type and level of Quartz you plan on creating, you
could end up using very little or all of your Sepiths of a specific
kind. Higher level Quartz will allow you to unleash stronger Orbal
Arts, but stronger spells also take longer to prepare, leaving your
character vulnerable to enemy attacks that may compromise the
preparation, forcing you to start all over again.
Some Orbal Arts only come out when linking different types of Quartz
together. This relies on the proper positioning of Quartz in each
character's Orbment Slots, which will be discussed in the next
section.
o=o=o=o=o=o=
Orbment Slot
o=o=o=o=o=o=
Orbment Slots are openings on an orbment device that allow the
insertion of Quartz to enable the execution of various Orbal Arts.
Think of it as Runes you equip on characters in Suikoden games.
While some slots accept installation of any kind of Quartz, certain
slots are restricted to only a specific element.
In addition, Orbment Slots are usually locked, meaning that you will
not be able to equip the maximum number of Quartz to your heart's
content. You will need to visit workshops and get the technicians
there to unlock them for you at the expense of Sepiths. The more you
unlock, the more expensive and demanding this "hacking" process
becomes.
As I've briefly mentioned in the previous section, you can combine
the effects of different Quartz by positioning them so that they
connect in a Quartz Line. Let's take a look at an example here,
let's assume all of Estelle's Orbment Slots have been unlocked:
4
/
3 5
| |
| 1 |
|/ \|
2 6
There are two Quartz Lines: 1-2-3-4, and 1-6-5. It goes without
saying that you can equip four Quartz in one line and three in the
other. What's the point? Well, in order to "forge" advanced Orbal
Arts, specific elemental values (EV) must be fulfilled within the
same Quartz Line.
For example, suppose we want Diamond Dust. You'll need Water EV 4,
Wind EV 1, and Space EV 1 all in the same Quartz Line. That means
you'll need to find three or four Quartz whose EV meet or exceed
the ones above. There are different ways you can go about achieving
this, the simplest way is by installing HP 3 (Water EV 5) and Scent
(Wind EV 3, Space EV 2) in slots 5 and 6.
Other methods include installing Cure (Water EV 3, Time EV 2), HP 1
(Water EV 1), and Area 1 (Space EV 3) in say, slots 1, 2, and 3, or
slots 2, 3, and 4. You cannot, however, mount two Quartz that are
of the same type in a single orbment (eg. Putting Seal and Strike in
two different slots). Play around with the orbment configuration a
bit, and you'll understand what I'm saying quickly. For a list of
Orbal Arts, refer to Quartz & Orbal Arts List under the In-Depth FAQ
section.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Craft/S-Craft
o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Crafts are skills that consume CP (Craft Points), which slowly
recovers if you attack, receive damage, eat specific recipes or
equip special accessories. When CP reaches 100 or beyond, the empty
Orb to the left of each character's portrait will shine, and you can
press the D-pad to activate a more deadly S-Craft at any time during
battles (yes, even during enemy turns). If you find yourself in a
pinch, S-Craft could be your life saver.
You can accumulate your CP all the way up to 200, when it hits this
number, your S-Craft becomes a lot more powerful, combine this with
the Turn Bonuses (eg. Critical, Strength +50%), you can instantly
obliterate an enemy or take out a good chunck of the HP from a boss.
It's important to point out that ALL of your CP will be consumed if
you decide to pull an S-Craft move, whether the value is at 100 or
138. However, the power of your S-Craft does NOT increase gradually
as you accumulate CP past 100. For example, it makes no difference
in terms of damage if you execute your S-Craft when the CP is at 138
or 100, S-Craft power boost only applies when your CP hits 200. Thus,
unless it's an emergency, you should either save your CP till it
reaches 200, or use it for normal Craft skills.
As your characters' levels increase, they will master additional
Craft and S-Craft moves. If your character has multiple S-Crafts,
for example, Joshua's Sever and Black Fang, you can set the default
one that'll be executed during S-Break. You do this via START ->
FORMATION -> S-CRAFT, and select the preferred one from the list.
For a list of Craft/S-Craft of all the playable characters in this
game, please refer to Craft/S-Craft List in the In-Depth FAQ/List
section.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+
-Battle Mechanics- [INT05]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The battles in this series are turn-based, with a few twists. Let's
begin by talking about the bars and that giant circle beside each
character's portrait.
There are three bars here:
-Health Bar: Green
-Energy Bar: Blue
-Charge Bar: Yellow
-Giant Sphere: Charge Point Level Indicator
Health Bar is self-explanatory, it indicates your current HP, get
hit and the bar depletes, use healing spells and the bar refills.
Energy Bar basically shows your MP (or EP, in this game). Use an
Orbal Art, and the bar goes down, use items like EP Charge, the bar
refills. The amount of EP you have is associated with the number of
unlocked Orbment Slots, it is NOT related to the character's level.
Charge Bar fills up when you attack or receive damage. The tougher
the enemy, the quicker it rises. Attacking multiple enemies with
Crafts or Orbal Arts speeds up the refilling process. Crafts consume
CP and depletes the bar, the amount depends on the specific Craft.
If there isn't enough CP to cover the cost, certain Crafts cannot
be used.
When CP reaches 100, the giant sphere besides each character's
portrait on the bottom of the screen will light up in red. S-Crafts
can be initiated at this time. Execution of S-Crafts consume the
entire bar. When CP reaches 200, fire will appear on the red spheres
and when of S-Crafts are used, their powers are greatly enhanced.
There is no incremental enhancement for CP values between 100 to 200,
unfortunately.
The vertical bar to your left represents the current and upcoming
turns for your characters, NPCs and enemies. You can hi-jack pretty
much anyone's turn with S-Break, a fancy word for saying, "unleash
your super move, NOW!". S-Break can only be executed when your CP
meter reaches 100 or above. If you have multiple characters whose
Charge Bars are full, you may cycle through your desired character
with your D-pad, and press X to confirm. Once you confirmed it,
there's no going back. You can also use TRIANGLE + any of the four
D-pad keys to instantly activate a character's S-Break. Frankly, I
find this to be more tedious than convenient, but the shortcut
functions are there if you need them.
So why bother hi-jacking enemy turns? There are two reasons:
1) You're characters are in danger, whichever enemy that moves next
must be eliminted right away.
2) You want to hi-jack Turn Bonuses.
The first reason is pretty self-explanatory, if one of your members
is about to die before you can heal him/her, you might want to use
S-Craft (provided one of your party member's CP bar is above 100) to
save the day.
The second reason is more for your benefits, let's talk about this
in a little bit more detail.
Turn Bonuses are narrow rectangular icons that randomly appear next
to the long stream of turn/action blocks to the left side of your
screen. Each square block indicates when your character or an enemy
gets to attack. The bar auto-scrolls when a character/monster
completes the turn. From time to time, Turn Bonuses appear, which
can be divided into the following categories:
1. "!" Mark = Critical Strike
2. STR = Strength Boost
3. Yellow Heart = HP recovery
3. Green Heart = CP recovery
4. Blue Heart = EP recovery
5. Red Crystal = Extra Sepiths drop when attacking
Critical is probably the top reason why you want to hi-jack enemy
turns.
To be continued...

2. WALKTHROUGH [WKT00]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY BEFORE MOVING ON!
Because you can rotate your camera freely in this game, it makes
directions difficult to explain. For all intents and purposes, my
instructions are all based off the "N" and its arrow on your mini-
map at the top right corner of the screen. The "N" and arrow will
ALWAYS face up-right; therefore, change your camera angle until the
white triangle arrow points up on your mini-map before following my
descriptions to avoid confusion.
If you plan on obtaining all 368 BP, please make sure you check and
verify the total BP at the end of each chapter with the Bracer Point
Checklist [QUS01] in the Quest Guide section.
Make MULTIPLE SAVES, maybe one for each chapter. This way, when you
miss something, you don't have to wait till the next playthrough to
complete it. Technically speaking, you CAN'T complete everything in
one playthrough. Filling the Monster Book and obtaining max BP
conflict with one another at one point during this game; in other
words, if you want max BP, you'll need to play the game again to
fill out everything in the Monster Book, and vice versa.

====================================================================
ITEMS:
500 MIRA
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch the prologue, Estelle sure is scary, isn't she? Cassius will
give you 500 MIRAS so you can buy the latest issue of LIBERL NEWS
for him (lazy bum). Exit your house onto ELIZE HIGHWAY, head south
then north at the intersection until you reach ROLENT.
A few notes here:
1) You can use your bedroom to rest and recover lost HP/EP for free!
2) Anytime you're lost, press SQUARE to quickly pinpoint different
locations. You can also read sign posts at intersections for
directions.
====================================================================

/ROLENT\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
BRACER NOTEBOOK, SEPITH x50 (per type), TEAR BALM x3, MONSTER GUIDE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Your goal here is to head to the BRACER GUILD. Where is it? Look on
your mini-map on the top right corner of the screen. See the colored
sections? Each color corresponds to a different locale:
RED - BRACER GUILD
GREEN - ITEM SHOP, EQUIPMENT SHOP, CAFE
ORANGE - ORBMENT FACTORY
BLUE - HOTEL/INN
PURPLE - SEPTIAN CHURCH
Upon entering the guild, you'll be greeted by Aina. Head up to the
second floor to meet Scherazard. She'll go over terminologies that
will be used repeatedly in this game, you can choose to read one
and then quit, but I'd recommend that you read all three to gain
some good background knowledge.
Once she's done talking, talk to Aina to get your BRACER NOTEBOOK,
a guide that contains all the information you need, from quest
summary, diary, gameplay mechanics, etc. You can pull it on screen
by pressing TRIANGLE + LEFT on you D-pad. You'll be instructed to
check the bulletin board here to obtain a list of available quests.
Look at TRAINING: RETRIEVAL to progress the story.
You'll automatically be taken to the ORBMENT FACTORY. This is where
you synthesize Quartz and unlock Orbment Slots. Talk to Melders to
learn about Orbments, Quartz and all the other good stuff. When you
are done, Scherazard will hand over some SEPITHs to you. Talk Freddy
to start Quartz synthesis. Make HP 1, ACTION 1 and ATTACK 1 for now,
you can make more if you want, but the three above are sufficient.
Next, open your Camp Menu (START) -> Orbment, and equip HP 1 on
Estelle, and ACTION 1 on Joshua. Talk to Sherazard again, and she'll
give you some more SEPITHS for you to unlock an Orbment Slot. Talk
to Freddy again and have him unlock Estelle or Joshua's next slot.
Right now it doesn't matter which side of the slot you pick, just
choose one. I recommend Joshua's left slot, but it's up to you.
Once the slot's unlocked equip Attack 1 in it.
When you finish the above, Scherazard will give you a final exam:
you're to retreat some stuff in the SEWERS. You'll be taken there
automatically, and Sherazard will hand over some TEAR BALMS before
the duo goes down.

You're goal here is to retrieve the treasure at the very end of the
path. There's a RECOVERY POINT right of the first intersection, use
that if you find you're low on HP/EP (which you really shouldn't be).
The first few encounters here will be tutorials on battle mechanics,
read the instructions carefully and try to familiarize yourself with
the system.
Taking the right path at the second intersection leads to a REVIVING
BALM. Cross the bridge by defeating the enemy, then go up for a real
battle. You should use the RECOVERY POINT near the entrance if you
are low on HP/EP. Note that you can save ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, as long
as you're not engaged in a fight. Now's a good time to save.
Take out the enemies guarding the chest (you need to use both magics
and regular attacks here) to obtain SMALL BOX x2. Report back to
Aina for 500 MIRA and 1 BP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a couple of things you should do before progressing the
story further:
1) Buy the newest issue of LIBERL NEWS - ISSUE 1 by talking to Ronin
inside RONIN GENERAL GOODS for 100 MIRA.
2) You'll receive the RECIPE BOOK from Rinon as well, he'll also
give you a MAPLE COOKIE, such that its recipe is added to your
RECIPE BOOK after consumption.
3) You can buy more recipes by talking to the bartender in the CAFE
located north of the ORBMENT FACTORY. Some of these foods are
under the Shop menu, and depending on how much money you have,
you might want to hold off buying all of them at once. Also, be
sure to eat those to have them appear on the RECIPE BOOK.
4) You can obtain a free copy of CARNELIA - CHAPTER 1 by talking to
Rhett in the room at the end of the hallway on the second floor
of the building right behind the CAFE (whew...). Completing this
collection gets you Estelle's or Joshua's FINAL weapon. If you
missed Chapter 1 for whatever reason, you can buy it in BOSE,
although the price is...
If you think you're ready to move on, head towards the southern exit
for a scene, next stop: ESMELAS TOWER. Exit northwest of ROLENT,
take the left route when you reach the branching point on MALGA
TRAIL, and you should reach ESMELAS TOWER.
====================================================================

/MALGA TRAIL\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
REVIVING BALM, TEAR BALM
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep going the winding path, there's a small open area right before
the end of the first screen of MALGA TRAIL, you'll find a chest
containing a REVIVING BALM. On the second screen, take the left path
at the branching point, then the right path to a dead end with a
chest containing a TEAR BALM. Back track to the intersection and
take the left path till you reach ESMELAS TOWER.

ITEMS:
1000 MIRA, LETTER TO CASSIUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BE SURE TO SAVE. I really shouldn't be saying this, since you can
save ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME in this game, if you screwed up something,
forgot to save and had to redo the whole thing again, slap yourself
in the face as a punishment ;)
If you forsee something omnious, save; if you have accomplished
something, save; if you think your battery's about to run out, save;
the list goes on. Hopefully you get my point, save often and save
whenever you see fit. There isn't a ranking system like Resident
Evil where you save too many times, it hurts your final rating. Take
advantage of this feature!
Anyway, as soon as you head up to the second floor, a scene occurs
and you'll be asked to make a choice, if you choose to stick
together with Joshua, you get an extra 1 BP.
Regardless of your selection, a battle ensures. I wouldn't classify
it as a boss battle, as these are just your typical enemies found
on MALGA TRAIL.
The enemies themselves aren't difficult at all. The annoying thing
is that you have to keep a constant watch on your NPCs. Yes, Falcom
decided that it'd be more realistic if those helpless NPCs are also
thrown into the middle of the fight. Therefore, if any of the kids
dies, it's game over for you.
Fortunately, you can heal them. If you've been saving your Special
Attacks, now is the time to unleash them, that'll end the battle
quickly.
More scenes after the fight, you'll gain 4 BP, receive 1000 MIRA and
a LETTER TO CASSIUS from Aina. Return to BRIGHT FAMILY HOUSE.

picking).

the freedom to accept quests posted on the bulletin board. Before
you do that, make sure to grab another copy of LIBERL NEWS - ISSUE 1
from the general store.
This part is entirely OPTIONAL, but if you choose to skip the quests
and focus only on the main plot, you'll miss your chance to obtain
some of the best equipments later on. If you're determined to skip
this, scroll down till you see PERZEL FARM.
****************************
QUEST 1: FIND THE SHINY ROCK
****************************
Time Limit: Complete before entering MALGA MINE
Talk to Charles (kid with purple hair) behind the ORBMENT FACTORY,
then examine the smoky sewers in front of RINON GENERAL GOODS, then
enter the SEWERS (behind the Church), and look for the rock at the
end of the path (without crossing the bridge), return it to Charles
to receive DRILL MEATBALL x5. Report back to Aina to receive 2 BP
and 30 MIRA.
***************************
QUEST 2: MILCH ROAD MONSTER
***************************
Time Limit: Complete before visiting Nial at the HOTEL
Wanted beasts are usually stronger than your average foes, so be
sure that you're at least Level 3 or higher before taking them on.
Exit west of ROLENT and you'll find yourself on MILCH ROAD, your
target is located on the path leading to VERTE BRIDGE CHECKPOINT
(basically the third screen of MILCH ROAD). It is a unique looking
plant that does not attack/run from you. You'll be asked if you
wanted to exterminate it when you approach it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 01: PINE PLANT
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Pine Plant
HP: 500
Weakness: Fire
These folks can self-destruct, if you get them to 1/10 of their HP,
stay away from them and use long range attacks to finish them off.
I just focused on casting Fire Bolt, combined with some occasional
melee attacks to get the job done. Heal when necessary. You will
receive 3 BP and 600 MIRA for this.
====================================================================
----------
/MILCH ROAD\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
TEAR BALM x3, TOPAZ TALISMAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Move for the western exit on the first screen. There's a pound near
the exit to the north where a monster treasure box is found beneathe
a tree. The fight itself is not hard, but the sheer number of foes
you have to face might pose a threat to your party if your members
are ill-equipped or underleveled. You can come back for this later
if you're level 7 or higher. You'll receive a TOPAZ TALISMAN should
you come out victorious.
On the second screen, south of the entrance is a chest with a TEAR
BALM inside. There are two more, one located directly north of the
branching path, and another one inside a chest below a tree near the
northwestern area, close to exit leading to PERZEL FARM, you might
need to shift camera angle a bit to see it.
====================================================================

/PERZEL FARM\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
1000 MIRA
--------------------------------------------------------------------
To get to PERZEL FARM, exit west of ROLENT, and take the southern
branching path on MILCH ROAD.
First, talk to the kids on the farm field here, then talk to Tio who
is behind the cow barn (you need to go through it). Finally, talk to
the owners inside the house. Watch the scenes till you're given
control again.
It's midnight and you need to start searching for monsters. Check
the following places:
1) Cabbage Field
2) Cow Barn
3) Hot House
You'll encounter them in front of the hot house, but they escaped.
Time to chase after them! They're in the cabbage field. It's crucial
that you approach them from behind, if you tackle them directly,
they will run away again and you will lose 1 BP as a result of your
failure.
A battle starts when you come in contact with the monsters, they're
extremely weak, but they do qualify as a boss battle, so here are
their stats:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 01: CROP MUNCHERS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Giant Crop Muncher
HP: 200
Weakness: None
Name: Crop Muncher x2
HP: 220
Weakness: None
The Giant Crop Muncher almost always takes two tunrs to attack: it
spends one turn preparing for a spell, and the next turn to unleash
it. The spell happens to be Air Strike for me, I'm not sure if it
also casts any other.
The other two mice just attack normally, sometimes they use Crop
Munch to recover a portion of their lost HP. It's no big deal.
Just attack normally, and heal when necessary, and the battle should
be over in no time. Watch the scene afterwards and pick any choice
you want when you're given the opportunity. Head back to ROLENT and
report to Aina.
You'll receive 3 BP (if you didn't fail the first time) and 1000
MIRA for this quest.

Watch the scene as you enter the guild, there are new quests posted
on the bulletin board. If you've completed all the aforementioned
quests, your Bracer rank will rise to 8 (this could happen at an
even earlier time). The higher your Bracer rank, the more difficult
missions you're allowed to take, and the more BP you'll receive.
Note that carrying on with the story without completing Quest 1 and
3 will inactivate them permanently.
****************************
QUEST 3: ORBMENT REPLACEMENT
****************************
Time Limit: Complete before going to MILGA MINE
Talk to Freddy inside ORBMENT FACTORY and he'll give you the code
and ORBMENT LIGHT. The password is 544818. Exit west of ROLENT, keep
going until you reach the far end of the second screen on MILCH ROAD
to examine the broken road lamp. Your party will be attacked by a
swarm of enemies, and you have to make a choice on who should handle
the repairs. If you choose Estelle, you'll need to enter the correct
password later on, this won't happen if you choose Joshua.
Anyway, defeat the flying cats, and if you happened to pick Estelle,
select "544818" as the code for the extra BP. Report back to Freddy
for an IMPEDE 2 Quartz.
You'll receive 4 BP, IMPEDE 2, and 600 MIRA as rewards.

Talk to the merchant named Orvid at ROLENT LANDING PORT. Exit
northwest of ROLENT onto MALGA TRAIL, head north until you come to
the intersection leading to MALGA MINE, take the eastern path, then
the eastern path again on the next screen when you encounter another
intersection, this should take you to a deadend with a patch of
grass you can examine. Do so and you'll obtain the FIREFLY FUNGUS,
which ends up attracting a bunch of enemies for a quick battle.
There's also a treasure chest below with a WHITE BRACELET in it.
Hand it over to the merchant and you'll receive 3 BP and 700 MIRA.
****************************
QUEST 6: MEDICAL NECESSITIES
****************************
Time Limit: Complete before crossing VERTE BRIDGE
If you haven't been fleeing from normal encounters, chances are you
already have part of the items required for this quest:
1) MONSTER WING: Bug type enemies drop these
2) BEAR CLAW: MISTWALD
To get to MISTWALD, exit south of ROLENT, continue moving south for
two screens, then east at the intersection (southwestern path leads
to GURUNE GATE). MISTWALD is a forest maze, you cannot use your map
here. Upon entering, head north, when you come to an intersection,
take the east path till you see a treasure chest containing a TEAR
BALM in it, keep going down the path, and you should reach a deadend
with a patch of grass that has some yellow flowers that you can
examine. Do so and you'll receive BEAR CLAW.
Before you head back to ROLENT, you might wanna use this opportunity
to visit to GURUNE GATE and buy a VEGETABLE SANDWICH from the chef
located in the room directly across from the reception counter.
Once you obtained the above, talk to Father Divine inside ROLENT
CHAPEL. You will receive 3 BP and 250 MIRA.
That should be all the optional quests for now. You should have
enough money and Sepiths to synthesize more Quartz and open up more
Orb Slots for your characters. Time to move on with the main plot.
Enter the Mayor's mansion located in between the chuch and the inn,
and you'll be asked to retrieve the Esmelas for him from miners at
MALGA MINE. Exit northwest of ROLENT onto MALGA TRAIL, keep moving
north till you reach the intersection, take the east route to the
next screen. When you reach the next intersection, go north.

Watch the scene at the entrance, when you enter, take the west path
till you reach a lever and a mine cart. Examine the lever to flip
it to the right, then choose to ride the cart, which'll take you to
the elevator. Examine it, which apparently is locked. Ride the cart
back, flip the lever, get on the cart again, and talk to the miner
there. He'll lend you his ELEVATOR KEY. Get back to the elevator
again, and choose to move down.
Keep moving all the way south past the bridge (there's a RECOVERY
POINT here) until your path starts going northwest, you'll find
Gaton, the mine chief. He'll hand over the SEPTIUM CRYSTAL to you.
Watch the scene here, you'll immediately be thrown into a battle
against three Killer Crabs. Note that the chief's also involved,
and he sometimes gets more turns than your own party, WTF? O___O
Anyway, get rid of the crabs and make sure the chief doesn't die.
After some chitchat, the chief JOINS your party, hands over two
TEAR BALMS to you. Now it's time to start searching for other
miners.
There are five miners in total, three mandatory battles against a
bunch of Killer Crabs, all featuring the enthusiastic involvement
of the chief, who does nothing in battle except running away and
stealing your turn bonses:
1) Pierre & Heinrich: Western route below the RECOVERY POINT
2) Bones & Trent: Eastern route below the RECOVERY POINT
3) Miner-in-Training: Northwestern path above the RECOVERY POINT
Once you've rescued all the miners, take the elevator up for a short
scene, then head back to MAYOR'S RESIDENCE's second floor first room
from the east for a scene. Report to Aina at the guild to receive 4
BP, 1500 MIRA.

Aina will assign you on another story mission that requires you to

But before you do that, there are two more option quests posted on
the bulletin board, perhaps you should do them first:
********************
QUEST 7: LOST KITTEN
********************
Time Limit: Complete before visiting Nial at the HOTEL
Talk to Adi standing in front of the cafe and start looking for her
lost cat. Check the following places in order:
1) North of the CLOCK TOWER
2) In front of the guild
3) Eastern side of the CLOCK TOWER
4) Inside the church
5) Second floor inside the church
Report to Aina for 2 BP and 500 MIRA
******************************
QUEST 8: ELIZE HIGHWAY MONSTER
******************************
Time Limit: You have to deal with this in order to get to MISTWALD,
so there's really no time limit for this one.
You can wait this one out until Scherazard joins you, or you can do
it now, it's your choice. If you choose to take on the challenge now,
make sure Estelle and Joshua are well equipped, the enemy hits hard,
and can take more than half of your HP with one hit.
Exit south of ROLENT, keep going south on ELIZE HIGHWAY until you
reach the bridge on the second screen. Choose to exterminate it for
a battle.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 02: RHINOCIDER
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Rhinocider
HP: 500
Weakness: None
Start by casting Clock Up with Joshua on all your characters, once
that's done, spam your elemental Orbal Arts and heal when required.
It shouldn't take more than 6 spells to finish it off.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1000 MIRA when you report to Aina.
When you're ready, head over to HOTEL ROLENT and talk to Verne at
the reception desk, then head over to the CAFE and talk to the green
haired guy in front of the bar table for a scene. Now to ORBMENT
FACTORY for a scene, time to head to ESMELAS TOWER!
Exit northwest of ROLENT, take the western path when you come to the
intersection on MALGA TRAIL to go to ESMELAS TOWER. Notice that you
now have a team of four people, which are more prone to surprise
attack when you're travelling. Also, since Dorothy and Nial are NPCs,
you need to keep them alive. At least Dorothy is somewhat useful,
her flash attack can SOMETIMES blind enemies (but it rarely works).

ITEMS:
TEAR BALM x2, KNITTED SHOES, TIN STAFF

RECIPES:
POTLUCK IN A SHELL
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1F: Nothing to grab, go up to 2F.
2F: Take either routes from the center room, and head up to 3F
3F: Take wooden bridge right next to the entrance till you reach a
platform, take the stone bridge to the east, you should find
yourself inside a dome. Take the northern stone bridge to the
next set of stairs. But before you go up, make your way all the
way to the end of the western wooden bridge besides the stairs
for a TEAR BALM. Backtrack and head to 4F.
4F: Take the west route next to the entrance, keep going until you
see a chest that contains a pair of KNITTED SHOES. Go back one
platform across the bridge to the central dome, get across the
southwestern bridge onto the next platform, take the eastern
wooden bridge and follow the path till you reach a chest with
a TEAR BALM in it. Backtrack one platform and go up the stairs
to 5F.
5F: Take the only path here to find a monster chest with a TIN STAFF
in it. The three Robber Trappers explodes when they die and only
use Air Strike to attack. Use your long range spells to avoid
getting caught in the explosion. Now head down to 4F.
4F: Back to the central dome, this time, take the eastern stone
bridge and follow the path to 5F.
5F: Take the northern bridge all the way till you see a chest with
a POTLUCK IN A SHELL. Go back one platform, and take the stone
bridges that lead to the dome with a tree in the center. Head
directly south up the stairs to the top of the tower.
Watch the scene here, pay attention to what Joshua says here, it's a
hint of something that will happen MUCH later on. Talk to everyone
in turn and you'll be taken back to ROLENT automatically.

ITEMS:
2000 MIRA, EAGLEVISION, SERVAIS LEAF
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Report to Aina for 4 BP and 2000 MIRA. If you've completed most of
the quests up till this point, you should reach Bracer Level 7, and
receive EAGLEVISION Quartz as a reward.
More scenes and you'll be at Mayor Klaus' house. Examine the rooms
in the following order, and be sure to talk to Lita and Klaus' wife
in the rooms directly across the hallway from the Office to gather
the necessary information:
1) Office: Examine the safe, the other stuffs are optional
2) Office Balcony: Examine fence near the boxes
3) Attic: Examine the floor to receive SERVAIS LEAF
4) Front Door: Attempt to exit for a scene
Talk to Sherazard in the living room, tell her you found lots of new
evidence, for a series of deduction questions, answer them correctly
and you'll receive 4 extra BP, the answers are as follows:
1) The septium in the safe
2) A group of 3 or 4
3) From the terrace on the 2nd floor
4) A traveler who visited recently
Now, head over to HOTEL ROLENT and talk to the guy at the reception
desk, then go to the landing port and talk to Alan by the ticket
booth, during the chat, choose to pull out the SERVAIS LEAF.
You should have enough Sepiths to unlock more slots for Joshua and
Estelle, and synthesize some Quartz. Don't worry about Sherazard.
Upgrade your equipments if you haven't. It might be good to invest
in the accessory that prevents poison on your characters, as enemies
in MISTWALD can constantly "venomnize" you. When you're ready, head
to MISTWALD. Exit south of ROLENT, keep heading south two screens,
then east at the intersection. By the way, if you haven't done Quest
8: Elize Highway Monster, you HAVE to do it now, because there's no
way you can access MISTWALD without killing it. Since you have
Scherazard in your party now, the battle should be much easier, just
have all three members cast elemental Arts, and it'll be gone in no
time.

ITEMS:
BEAR CLAW x2, SEPTIUM CRYSTAL, 3000 MIRA
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you haven't done Quest 6: Medical Necessites, when you first
enter, take the eastern path at the first branching point for a TEAR
BALM and BEAR CLAW. Otherwise, head north till you reach the next
screen. In the new area, move up and take the wooden bridge to the
west first. Grab the BEAR CLAW on the grass patch there, back up and
take the double wooden bridge to the east and take the western path
when you come to an intersection for another BEAR CLAW. Return to
the intersection, save your game, then take the eastern route till
you reach the next screen. Move up a bit and watch the scene, you'll
be given a choice here, if you want an extra BP, be sure to endure
(second choice) the harsh words from Josette. After some exchange of
insults, it's time for a boss battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 03: SKY BANDITS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Josette
HP: 550
Weakness: None
Name: Sky Bandit x3
HP: 415
Weakness: None
Take out her underlings first, Schera can just whip them, Joshua can
use his Double Strike if he has sufficient CPs, Estelle can focus on
casting healing or offensive spells. Josette sometimes casts Tear,
but it's usually used on herself rather than her companions. Once
you eliminate her henchmen, you can gang bang Josette. She is fairly
resistent to both spell and melee attacks, if you find yourself
struggling too much, don't be afraid to unleash your S-Crafts. My
Joshua (default weapon) at 200 CP can take out half of her HP using
Sever. Watch the scenes following her defeat, and you'll be brought
back to ROLENT automatically.
You'll receive 11 BP, 3000 MIRA and a RECOMMENDATION letter after
reporting to Aina. Some more scenes, and we are at the end of the

Southeast of the sign post that says "North: Nebel Valley", there is
a slight indent of an area, you'll get an option to exterminate some
scorpion bosses, this is an optional quest which you haven't viewed
yet at Bose's Bracer Guild. You can come back later if you want, I
chose to exterminate them now. Before you do so, make sure at least
two of your members can cast Air Strike, if the remaining person can
cast Earth-based elemental attacks, that would be ideal, but it's
not exactly mandatory.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 02: SCORPIONS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: King Scorpion
HP: 380
Weakness: Earth
Name: Queen Scorpion x3
HP: 314
Weakness: Wind
Looks like the king has quite a harem, must be very exhausting for
him every night. Anyhoo, squish the Queen Scorpions first, if you
kept Schera's default orbment setup, she can cast Air Strike on them.
I put IMPEDE 2 on Estelle, which quickens the process. Have Joshua
cast Clock Up on everyone. The Queen Scorpions can cause paralysis
when they strike, paralysis prevents you from using melee attacks,
which is pretty meh, consider that you're using Orbal Arts mainly.
That said, those stings hurt! With my current gears, they do about
100+ damage per hit, you definitely want to end this battle as soon
as possible. If you have anyone with a CP at 200, you may want to
unleash his/her S-Craft on King Scorpion, that should take it out
right away. You can also cast Earth-based elemental spells on it,
I didn't own an Earth Quartz at the time, so I just used my S-Craft.
You'll receive 2 BP and 800 Mira once you report to Lugran at the
guild in BOSE.
Head west past this screen for a short scene, then keep moving down
the one way path until you reach the next intersection. Go west
again a few more steps to find BOSE.

before, you'll receive 2 BP and 800 MIRA after reporting to Lugran
at the BOSE guild.
Your next destination should be the MARKETPLACE in the center of the
city. Buy an issue of LIBERL NEWS - ISSUE 2 and if you missed it,
a copy of CARNELIA - CHAPTER 1 and CHAPTER 2. Again, completing the
CARNELIA collection will allow you to obtain the final weapon for
Estelle or Joshua, so it's definitely worthwhile. You can also buy
some new dishes at Katrina's Confectionery, as well as at the CAFE
(a separate building) and add them to your recipes.
When you're done shopping, head for the Bracer Guild and watch the
scene. Check the bulletin board for new quests. If you terminated
the King Scorpion already, you can report to Lugran right now for 4
BP and 1000 MIRA.
You should have enough money to upgrade some of your equipments, and
I suggest you do so. The shop is located to the south on the next
screen. You can also synthesize new Quartz if you want. Let's do
some optional quests first to warm up.
***************************
QUEST 11: INGREDIENT SEEKER
***************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
Talk to Gwen inside ANTEROSE RESTAURANT's kitchen northeast of BOSE
MARKET, and hand over five MONSTER FOWL MEAT. You should have enough
if you don't run from battles all the time in ROLENT. If you don't
have enough, you can farm for it by killing Rimera and on EISEN ROAD.
In addition to 3 BP and 800 MIRA, Gwen will also pass the recipe
LIBERL OMELET to Estelle.
**************************
QUEST 12: RAVENNUE MONSTER
**************************
Time Limit: Before talking to Nial inside BOSE's CAFE
Exit west of BOSE onto WEST BOSE HWY, keep moving till the path
starts going northeast, look to the corner of the road for a chest
that contains a REVIVAL BALM. Keep moving until you see the next
intersection with a sign post. Go north onto RAVENNUE TRAIL. This is
a one way path, just keep moving till you reach RAVENNUE VILLAGE.
Talk to Elder Reisen inside his house, which is behind the inn. You
can now go through the exit to the north.
Move until you see the path branches. Take the eastern path, and go
southeast for a chest with a TEAR BALM. Backtrack, this time, head
northeast for a DEATHBLOW 2 Quartz. Finally, backtrack and take the
nothern route, do not be distracted by those little branch-offs on
the way, keep going north till the path turns west, you should find
a chest containing BEAST STEAK. Now go all the way back to the first
branching point and head west to the next area.
Save first, move to the intersection and head west and you'll be
attacked by a boss.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 03: FATE SPINNER
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Fate Spinner
HP: 508
Weakness: None
This thing hits hard even with the newly bought armors from BOSE. If
you didn't upgrade your equipments, you might struggle here.
Cast Clock Up on your party members if you can, and spam your Arts,
forget about melee attacks, its skin's too thick for that. Don't use
any Earth-based elemental attacks. Heal if your HP falls below 200,
and use S-Crafts if you're in danger.
Defeat it completes Quest 12. Return to RAVENNUE VILLAGE for a short
scene. Report to Lugran when you're back in BOSE for 4 BP and 1500
MIRA.
That's all the optional quests for now, heal up, save your game, and
head for MAYOR'S RESIDENCE direct west of BOSE MARKET. Watch the
scene as you enter, talk to the maid named Lila inside the Church,
then head into BOSE MARKET for another scene. You'll get MAYOR
MAYBELLE'S LETTER. Exit east of BOSE and keep moving till you reach
the intersection, head north onto EISEN ROAD and keep going till you
reach the HAKEN GATE checkpoint.
====================================================================
----------
/HAKEN GATE\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
CARNELIA - CHAPTER 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------
After a short scene at the checkpoint, head north two screens and
you'll find yourself in front of HAKEN GATE. You can visit the INN
to the west and talk to the blonde dude if you want for some extra
tidbits, but your real goal is to talk to the guard standing in
front of the building to the north. After a chat with him, head back
to the INN. Talk to the blonde man first, after the... disturbing
but funny scene, talk to Marco besides him to receive CARNELIA -
CHAPTER 3. You have to do this before seeing Morgan, it's a very
narrow time frame, make sure you get it done!
Talk to the guard and head inside the building. Check the last door
to the left, and choose to knock. Watch the long scene here, and
head back to BOSE.
Since six of Olivier's Orbment Slots have been unlocked already, you
should stick any extra Quartz in there just for the hell of it :)
There's a secret quest that's not posted on the bulletin board which
you can do right now by going to AMBERL TOWER. I'm going to hold off
on this because I think the enemeis might be too tough for your
current level. If you think you can handle them no problem, by all
means, head inside and get a feel yourself. If you can make it to
the top of the tower without too much trouble, you will probably
breeze through the remaining enemies and bosses in this chapter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
A scene when you enter BOSE, head west from the entrance for another
scene. Head to the guild for now, check the bulletin board, three
new quests have been posted. You can start doing them right now if
you want, or you can put them off a bit and progress the story first.
Talk to Lugran here and explain what happened, then visit Mayor
Maybelle in her residence (second floor, last door), lastly, talk
to Nial in the CAFE (he's sitting at the end of the hall by himself
on the second floor). Next destination: RAVENNUE. I'm going to do
the sidequests first, you can ignore this section if you want to
carry on with the story.
***************************
QUEST 13: WEST BOSE MONSTER
***************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
Keep moving west until you reached the third area of WEST BOSE HWY,
starting counting the Orbment Lamps on either side for the road,
when you found the fifth one, look to the opposite side and you
should see the giant fish monster waiting to be exterminated. Before
you engage it, make sure to equip Defense 1 on one or more of your
characters, doing so will make this battle much easier.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 04: THUNDER QUAKE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Thunder Quake
HP: 1844
Weakness: Earth
Earth elemental spells do twice the damage, so spam Stone Hammer
like mad! This bad fishboy can use Worldly Shock, a lightning attack
that damages your entire party anywhere between 130 to 190 HP, and
it uses it EVERY SINGLE TURN. The good thing is, if you manage to
stay alive, your characters' CP bars will rise quickly, allowing
them to unleash S-Crafts in rapid succession. The battle might take
a while because of its high HP, fortunately its defense is fairly
weak, so it balances out a bit.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1200 MIRA upon successful completion.
You need to go to NEBEL VALLEY for the next two quests. But first,
talk to the old guy selling medicines by the right entrance inside
BOSE MARKET. Now, head to NEBEL VALLEY.
====================================================================
------------
/NEBEL VALLEY\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
STREGA-R, KATAR, BEAR CLAW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RECIPES:
ABADDON POT
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit east of BOSE onto EAST BOSE HWY and keep going until you see an
intersection and a sign post that points to NEBEL VALLEY. Take that
path to enter the valley.
On the first screen, take the eastern route into the next area.
Follow the one way path through some wooden bridges and take the
western path when the road diverges. This eventually leads you to a
cabin. You can use the bed in here to rest, very convenient. Make
sure to talk to the guy here, he'll share his ABADDON POT with you.
When you've rest up, backtrack to the road where it diverged and
follow the north route this time. When the path diverges again,
save, then follow the northeastern road to a chest that contains
a STREGA-R.
**************************
QUEST 14: BEAR CLAW SURVEY
**************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
On your way back, before you go underneathe the wooden bridge, there
are two dead trees that are kind of positioned at a 30 degree angle.
Below them you will find the BEAR CLAW required to complete this
quest. Grab it and hand it over to the old guy when you're back in
BOSE.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1000 MIRA.
******************************
QUEST 15: NEBEL VALLEY MONSTER
******************************
Time Limit: Before going to VALLERIA SHORE
Take the west path when you first enter NEBEL VALLEY, just keep
going down the long winding road until you find the boss. Save your
game and make sure someone in your team can cast Fire-based Arts.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 05: MASTER CRYON
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Master Cryon
HP: 815
Weakness: Fire
Name: Boiled Egger G
HP: 320
Weakness: Fire
Name: Boiled Egger R
HP: 415
Weakness: Water
This will be an easy fight if you have area-based Fire spells like
Fire Bolt EX, but chances are, you don't have it. Start by casting
Clock Ups on your Fire spell users. If your magic isn't strong
enough, and you don't get turn bonuses, the Boiled Eggers will more
than likely survive. Since they explode upon dying, finishing them
off with melees is risky. Good thing Schera's here. In case any of
the Eggers survived the initial attack, Schera's long-range whip
can get the job done. Use S-Crafts if you can, they'll shorten the
tedious wait process for everyone.
Master Cryon's spell can take ~200 HP off a single target, heal if
you find your HP to be below 250. This thing doesn't explode like
the Eggers, so don't be afraid to use melee on it if you don't have
enough people with Fire Bolts.
You get 5 BP and 2000 MIRA as rewards.
Go past where Master Cryon is across a bridge and you'll find a pair
of KATAR in the chest. Head back to BOSE.

ITEMS:
PETRIFY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Report to Lugran to grab your rewards, then check the board, there
are two more optional quests, the escort quest has to be done
immediately, and requires you to visit KRONE TRAIL, so let's do that
now.
====================================================================
-----------
/KRONE TRAIL\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
TEAR BALM, PEARL EARRING
--------------------------------------------------------------------
************************
QUEST 16: ESCORT REQUEST
************************
Time Limit: Before going to ABANDONED MINE
Talk to the man in the room on the first floor of BOSE's HOTEL, and
accept his request. Talk to him again at the west exit of BOSE, keep
going west on WEST BOSE HWY till you reach KRONE TRAIL.
If this is your first time here, you can grab some items on the way.
Note that you can't shift your camera angle here. Head west till you
reach the first intersection, then take the south path for a TEAR
BALM.
As soon as you reach the bridge, you'll be ambushed by some Creepy
Sheeps, choose to charge through the front for an extra BP. You'll
have to fight two groups of four. They are pretty weak, and any of
your elemental magics are effective against them. Keep heading west.
Move south on the next intersection for a monster chest containing
PEARL EARRING. You'll need to deal with four Wisdoms, which are
slightly prone to Fire. They're quick and can charge Shadow Spear,
which has a 10% instant kill effect. Joshua should have learned his
Flicker Craft by now, you can delay enemy turns with it. Use it
strategically so you can grab all the turn bonuses. Concentrate
your attacks on one Wisdom a time and watch out for NPC's HP. If
he ends up eating two Shadow Spears, it's game over for you. Of
course, you can escort him to KRONE PASS first, then come back for
this item when you're on your way back to BOSE, it's your choice.
Continue west to reach KRONE PASS. You'll receive 5 BP and 1200
MIRA assuming you made the right choice.
********************************
QUEST 17: NEW ANSEL PATH MONSTER
********************************
Time Limit: No limit as you have to kill them in order to get to
VALLERIA SHORE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 04: AMBER TURTLES
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Amber Turtle x6
HP: 300
Weakness: Fire
I don't know what's so "turtle" about them, they look like jellies...
Physical attacks don't work on them, so you need to use Fire-based
spells. They aren't strong, the only problem is they gang up on you,
which could pose a problem because there are so many of them and the
spells take two turns to release. Heal when needed and be patient,
the battle may take longer than you expect.
You'll receive 5 BP and 1500 MIRA when you report to Lugran.
Assuming you completed every quest listed here up to this point,
your Bracer Rank should reach 6, and you should receive the PETRIFY
Quartz.
Remember the secret quest I told you about earlier? I think your
party should be strong enough to handle this. So hit the road that
goes to AMBERL TOWER.
====================================================================
------------
/AMBERL TOWER\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
TEAR BALM x2, REVIVING BALM, EMERALD TALISMAN, CHAIN MAIL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RECIPES:
FRIED EYES AND EGGS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
************************************
HIDDEN QUEST 1: AMBERL TOWER MYSTERY
************************************
Time Limit: Before going to ABANDONED MINE
1F: Nothing here, move up to 2F.
2F: Take the wooden bridge to the north, get into the central dome,
take the southestern exit, follow the path to get a TEAR BALM.
Backtrack to central dome, take the east stone bridge and up
the stairs to 3F.
3F: Head all the way west through the central dome and up the stairs
at the end to 4F.
4F: Head all the way east for the FRIED EYES AND EGGS. Back down to
3F.
3F: Move onto the wooden bridge direct south of the entrance, head
up the stairs on the next platform to 4F.
4F: Follow the bridge path and grab the REVIVING BALM before you go
up to 5F.
5F: Take the bridge here and enter the central dome for a scene and
a battle. Exit south for a monster chest with an EMERALD
TALISMAN. The platform direct north of here also has a monster
chest with a CHAIN MAIL in it. The Robber Trappers are fairly
resistent to spells, they can cast Earth Lance and it hurts a
lot. They also explode when they die. I recommend using your
Crafts and finish them off quickly. Go back to the central dome,
move west till you reach the platform with two wooden bridges,
take the northern one and down the stairs.
4F: Follow the bridge onto the platform, grab the TEAR BALM and head
down the stairs.
The rest should be straightforward, make your way out of the tower
and report to Lugran for 4 BP and 2000 MIRA.
Time to push the plot forward, exit west of BOSE and head for
RAVENNUE VILLAGE.
====================================================================
----------------
/RAVENNUE VILLAGE\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
TEAR BALM
--------------------------------------------------------------------
First, talk to the elder/chief inside his house behind the INN. Then
talk to Lewey at the port southeast of the village for a scene. Exit
north of the village onto the second half of RAVENNUE TRAIL.
Head west at the first intersection into the next area. Check your
map by pressing SELECT. See the three branching paths west of where
the mine's labeled? The middle path leads to a TEAR BALM. Forget
about all the other paths, they are deadends with either an enemy or
nothing. From where you are, go north, then west at the intersection,
and straight north all the way till the end to reach the mine.
====================================================================
--------------
/ABANDONED MINE\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
NONE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exam the entrance and... you have to backtrack all the way to the
village for a freaking key to unlock the door. This is a cheap way
to "extend" the playtime, it doesn't add anything to the story, it's
simply annoying.
Anyway, head back and talk to the chief by the grave on the hill to
the northeast for a scene, he'll hand over the ABANDONED MINE KEY.
Go back to the mine entrance again, this time you can get inside.
Save first. Forget about the path to the right, just take the left
path here, keep moving till you reach the next area for a scene
followed by a boss fight.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 05: SKY BANDITS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Kyle
HP: 777
Weakness: All
Name: Sky Bandit x4
HP: 415
Weakness: None
Kyle's henchmen are weak, but their attacks can poison you if you
don't have the proper accessory. Focus on taking them out first,
Joshua's Flicker is a nice way to both delay and deal heavy damages
to multiple enemies.
Kyle can use smokescreen to hurt and blind you. When you see him
taking out the bomb, hit him so he drops it. Use your S-Crafts if
you want, he's not tough at all, and should go down fairly quickly.
Watch the scene, then enter the aircraft. Examine the lift car, the
panel by the stairs, things inside captain's cabin on the second
floor, executive room window on the third floor, then go out the
door to the deck for a scene. Choose "Keep the location of their
hideout a secret" for a whooping 3 extra BP! Get out of the ship
for an additional scene and you'll be thrown into HAKEN GATE's
prison.
After a lonnnng scene, you'll be back in BOSE.

Start by equipping Quartz on Olivier, then head to the guild to
collect your rewards for your investigation. You should receive 8
BP and 6000 MIRA. A new quest has been posted on the bulletin board,
but this will have to wait, since you don't access to the area just
yet.
Anyway, go down to BOSE - SOUTH BLOCK and enter the ORBMENT FACTORY
second floor for a scene. Head out and go to the residence right
across the street, talk to the soldier inside, then exit for an
event. Re-enter the house you just left and talk to Cecile for a
long scene. Exit south onto NEW ANSEL PATH, it's time to go to
VALLERIA SHORE.
By the way, you can go to BOSE MARKET and buy a copy of LIBERL NEWS
- ISSUE 3 from the magazine stand. Talk to Libro next to the stand
to receive CARNELIA - CHAPTER 4, you MUST do this before triggering
the series of events at VALLERIA SHORE.

Keep moving south on NEW ANSEL PATH till you reach VALLERIA SHORE.
If you haven't completed Quest 17: New Ansel Path Monster, you have
to do it now, since it's blocking the entrance to your destination.
Just use Fire Bolts to quickly dispose them.
There are some new recipes you can buy inside the inn, talk to the
green haired man standing before the kitchen counter to purchase
them.
Talk to the dude fishing on the pier west of the inn, come back and
talk to Lenard (who you bought the recipes from), now go and talk to
the fisher again. Enter the inn and talk to the receptionist, you'll
be asked if you want to stay for the night, if you still haven't
acquired CARNELIA - CHAPTER 4, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. Also, try
to synthesize Quartz and equip them on your party members so at
least one or two people can cast La Tear and other offensive area
magics. When you're ready, choose to rent a room.
Watch the scene, examine the pier and choose to fish. Go back and
talk to the receptionist again to obtain PROGRESSIVE ROD. You can
start fishing at the pier now. You'll be given a few choices, for
which choice leads to which fish/item, please refer to the In-Depth
List/FAQ's Fishing section. If you want to move the story along,
just fish once and quit.
When you're done fishing, you'll receive HUNDRED DAYS WAR. Attempt
to go to the pier where you found the fisher for a scene with Joshua.
On the way back, choose to keep the book so it's permanently in your
inventory. Talk to Schera/Olivier inside and watch the scenes. When
you're given back control, head for the pier where Joshua was.
After the chatter, head to the front of the inn (don't enter it), go
up the stairs to its right and try to move towards the direction
where the entrance is (but do this on the balcony). Watch the scene
and head for the pier. More scenes later, attempt to exit VALLERIA
SHORE for an extra long event followed by a battle against two Sky
Bandits.

ITEMS:
SCORPION, EP CHARGE, JEWELED RING, STREGA-R, BLACK NOTEBOOK, BEAR
ASSAULT, REVIVING BALM, 8000 MIRA, RECOMMENDATION, HAZE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down the stairs, in the next area, go north, the west, no need to
check those rooms, they have nothing. On the next screen, check the
second room from the entrance for a SCORPION for Scherazard. Go back
out, move west onto the next screen, go down to the next area, and
again. Second room down the hallway to your left leads to another
room with an EP CHARGE in the chest. The exit at the end before the
hallway turns right leads to a corridor with a room containing a
JEWELED RING. Backtrack to the previous turning corridor.
Follow the path to the right, check the gated door and choose to
rush in for a battle against six Sky Bandits. Defeat them, and keep
moving down the halls till you reach a set of stairs leading down.
Again, keep going till you find a corridor with more rooms to enter.
Check the bottom room for a STREGA-R, then head straight up into a
room with three exits.
First, check the north room's blue chest for a BLACK NOTEBOOK that's
required for completing a secret quest. Then check the west room for
a BEAR ASSAULT for Olivier. Finally, take the east exit, keep moving
and follow the path that turns south. More screens later, you should
find another gated door, rush in to battle six more Sky Bandits for
a scene.
Exit, move west and down the stairs. The first exit here takes you
out of this hideout, choose to push the rock and you'll find yourself
in NEBEL VALLEY. The room at the very end has a chest featuring a
REVIVING BALM. The gated room in the middle is where the bosses are,
heal up, save and choose to raid the room.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 06: THE CAPUA FAMILY
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Don
HP: 1918
Weakness: None
Name: Kyle
HP: 912
Weakness: Fire, Water & Wind
Name: Josette
HP: 798
Weakness: None
It's pretty obvious that Don is the tough cookie here. He hits hard
and his cannon can damage multiple members in your party. Try not to
squeeze your team within in his attack radius, and use La Tear to
heal.
If any of your character's CP is at 200, use it on Josette. She is
the healer/magic user in this battle, and she can cast Petrifying
Breath, which deals heavy damage with the chance of petrifying your
character. Once she's down, turn your attention to Kyle, his defense
is probably the weakest of the three. Just use normal attacks and
Crafts on him, if Don gets his turns too quickly, delay him with
Joshua's Flicker.
With Don being the only one left, you can start spamming spells.
Send Joshua up front, chances are, Don will melee him rather than
using his cannon on others. This way, Josh can accumulate CP quickly,
enabling him to use Flicker to delay Don again and again, thus
allowing your other characters to heal and prepare offensive spells.
Watch the scene when the fight's over, you now have to chase after
them.
Follow the stairs and start backtracking. You'll run into a few
groups of Sky Bandits on your way (one group/floor), take care of
them and go all the way back to where the aircraft parked for a long
scene that concludes Chapter 1. You'll receive 10 BP, 8000 MIRA, and
Lugran's RECOMMENDATION letter. If you've completed most of the
quests described above, your Bracer Rank should rise to 5, which
rewards you with a HAZE Quartz.
Save your game, and continue.

Next, make sure you complete the following quests:
*********************
QUEST 18: STOLEN RING
*********************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
If you followed by guide and grabbed the JEWELED RING back at the
hideout, you can head to BOSE - SOUTH BLOCK and talk to the woman
in the house to the far east of the map to complete this quest. I
haven't tested whether or not you can still go back to the hideout
to grab the ring after Chapter 1 ends, but it's worth a try if you
missed it somehow.
Report to Lugran to receive 3 BP and 2000 MIRA.
******************************
HIDDEN QUEST 2: BLACK NOTEBOOK
******************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
If you followed by guide and grabbed the BLACK NOTEBOOK back at the
hideout, you can head to HAKEN GATE. Enter the building next to the
gate and go downstairs to the prison area. Talk to the guards there
for a scene. You'll receive 5 BP and 2000 MIRA.

When you reach the checkpoint, talk to the guard outside, then head
inside and talk to the Sergeant in the first room. Exit and move to
the next room for a long scene. Use the RECOVERY POINT if you need
to heal, then head outside and prepare to face six wolves. Just
attack normally, these monsters aren't strong at all.
The next morning, go and talk to the guard behind the counter to the
north, choose to file the paperworks and head throught the gate. You
are now in the region of Ruan.
There's an EP CHARGE hidden beneath the tree at the end of the lower
path. Get on the upper path and head west, there's another EP CHARGE
inside the indent area where your view is blocked by a tree growing
on top of ledge (right before crossing a wooden bridge). Move to the
next area.

Press SELECT and look at your map, see the right indent area halfway?
You can find a monster chest containing a LILY NECKLACE in it. The
monsters guarding that chest are 200% weak against Water attacks,
although frankly, you can just attack them normally.
In the next area, the path will branch, if you take the path leading
to the LIGHTHOUSE, you can talk to the old man there for a secret
quest, which involves monster sweeping in the LIGHTHOUSE. You can
put it off till a later time, but I decide to do it now.
***********************************
HIDDEN QUEST 3: LIGHTHOUSE MONSTERS
***********************************
Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
Talk to the old man in front of VARENNE LIGHTHOUSE, accept his
request and head inside to defeat a bunch of Red Hammerheads. These
things are fast, so cast Clock Up or use Joshua's Flicker to delay
their actions. They have no weaknesses, and can take off around 90
to 120 HP from you per hit. Heal when needed. Just so you don't
overlook things, you need to defeat two groups of these on the top
floor.
Successfully completing this quest yields 4 BP and 1500 MIRA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a chest to the immediate southeast shore with a TEAR BALM in
it. By the way, that giant blue shell-like monster called Night
Nautilus drops EVADE 2 Quartz from time to time if you're interested
in farming those.
Keep heading east for a scene, then go north to MERCIA ORPHANAGE.
Watch the scenes here, when they're over, head back to GULL SEASIDE
WAY again.
Take the eastern path that goes to RUAN. In the next area, press
SELECT and check your map, there's a penisula-like area about
halfway through, right below that in the little indent is a chest
with a TEARA BALM in it. Go near the penisula for a scene, you'll be
thrown into a battle against three Shark Gators, don't worry about
healing, Kloe automatically does that for you when your HP runs low.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU RESCUE JIMMY IF YOU WANT TO COLLECT ALL 368
BP. Saving him will award you 2 extra BP and 1000 extra MIRA later
on.
After the battle, rotate your camera and you should spot a monster
chest that contains a RUBY TALISMAN guarded by Stove Plants. Defeat
them and Keep going south on the beach till you find a chest with a
TEAR BALM in it. Backtrack and onto the paved road, go to the next
area.
As soon as you move, you should spot the chest on the beach below
you. Go there and grab the BATTLE SUIT by battling against a swarm
of Stove Plants. Again, don't worry about healing, Kloe takes care
of that nicely. Use Flicker and Hurricane to quickly dispose of them.
Head south to the other portion of the beach, at its corner, you
should find a TEAR BALM inside a chest. From where you are, move
south into the water by sticking to the cliff walls, this is a
hidden path not clearly shown on your map. Follow this path till the
end to find a barrel. Examine it to receive SKULL DAGGER and TORN
MAP.
Move back onto the paved road and start going south, you should come
in contact with quest monsters that require extermination. You need
to kill them to get to RUAN, so let's start.

Pay a visit to the guild first. After that, you can do some shopping
here. You can synthesize Cast 2, Action 2, and other higher level
Quartz at the ORBMENT FACTORY. Be sure to at least make Action 2 for
Joshua. Upgrade your equipments, then head to the lighthouse (in
RUAN, not the one where the old man was) between the HOTEL and the
CAFE for a scene. Then head to the draw bridge east of the CAFE for
another scene. Keep going till you're in RUAN - SOUTH BLOCK.
The CAFE here and the one in the block you just came from both have
nice dishes for you to try/buy. Make your way across the stone
bridge south of the CAFE for a scene. Then head east across one more
bridge and talk to the guy with a red bandanna on his head, attempt
to return to RUAN - NORTH BLOCK for another scene.
Re-visit the guild for an event, then head for the HOTEL and talk to

of the HOTEL and into the penthouse for a scene. Before you go to
the basement, talk to the receptionist again for a free FRESH JUICE.
Head to the bottom room in the basement for some more events.
The next morning, check the bulletin board for three new quests,
talk to Jean for a scene, you can also report to Jean to collect

1F: Head straight for 2F.
2F: Move south through the central dome and take the southwestern
bridge to 3F.
3F: Take the one way path and move up to 4F.
4F: Move north into the central dome and exit southeast to 5F.
5F: One way path to a monster chest with a BATTLE SUIT in it. At
your current level, it'd be wise to "forge" Hell Gate with your
Quartz and just cast that in battle. It shouldn't take more than
two arts to elminate your foes. The EV requirements are: Time 4,
Space 2, Mirage 1; you can achieve this by putting Action 2,
Cast 1, and Eagle Vision in the same Quartz Line for either
Joshua (ideal) or Estelle. Backtrack to the previous floor.
4F: From where you are, enter the central dome, take southern exit
and on to the bridge to your west, up the stairs again to 5F.
5F: Head north and take the bridge to the west for a monster chest
containing a pair of ARMY BOOTS. Enter the dome, exit to the
west to a platform with another monster chest containing the
FLAMEBERGE for Kloe. Backtrack to 2F.
2F: From where you are, head into the dome and take the southeastern
exit onto 3F.
3F: Take the wooden bridge to the next platform and head upstairs.
4F: Repeat the previous step, you should be at 5F.
5F: There's a monster chest here containing the SCENT Quartz. Back
down to 4F.
4F: Enter the central dome and look for two chests to either end of
the wall for a HOT FRIED CHICKEN and an EP CHARGE. When you come

back down to 4F.

is connected to the central dome. Take the stairs down to 3F.
3F: Take the wooden bridge to the east and down the stairs to 2F.
2F: Follow the path and grab the TEAR BALM, backtrack to 3F.
3F: Head across the stone bridge into the central dome, grab the
RANGE 1 Quartz from the chest, go back to 4F.
4F: From where you are, follow the eastern path all the way to the
last platform and take the stairs down until you are on 1F.
*********************************
QUEST 20: AURIAN CAUSEWAY MONSTER
*********************************
Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
Outside SAPPHIRL TOWER, southwest of where you come down the stairs,
you'll find a small open area with the giant fish monster that needs
to be exterminated, make sure you're at least level 18, and have
accessories that prevent mute on your spell casters before you take
on this challenge. I highly suggest that you come back once Kloe
joins your party as a controllable character. But if you wanna do
this now, here's my strategy:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 06: HELMET CRABS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Helmet Crab x5
HP: 530
Weakness: All
Name: Mint Pom
HP: 248
Weakness: None
Assuming that Kloe hasn't joined your party yet, start by casting
any offensive spell on a single Helmet Crab. DO NOT USE PHYSICAL
ATTACKS ON HELMET CRABS! If you do, your attacks will be reflected
back at you. The two spells from Estelle and Joshua should be enough
to take out one crab.
When it's the crab's turn, each crab will use its turn to summon a
Mint Pom. Start preparing your area spells, Stone Impact and Hell
Gate are just a few choices here. Aim your spell at the Hermet Crabs,
chances are, once they finished summoning Mint Poms, they'll begin
moving toward you, thus causing them to cluster together. If both
of your spell landed on multiple enemies, wiping out one or two
Helmet Crabs along with some Poms, you can continue this strategy
until all Helmet Crabs are erased from the map. Mint Poms are
vulnerable to physical attacks, you can just melee them afterwards.
Now, the crabs are capable of inflicting mute status on you, so if
you don't have Kloe in your party, you'll either need to buy the
accessory that prevents this, or some item that can relief the seal.
You won't have a chance against the crabs if you can't chant spells,
since they reflect all physical attacks.
You'll receive ZERO SHOT X (item for Quest 21), 4 BP and 1500 MIRA
as rewards.
Head back to RUAN.

Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
Talk to Harg standing near the harbor west of the CAFE in RUAN -
SOUTH BLOCK. You'll need to go down a set of stairs and pass that
worker with the yellow helmet before you can find him.
Afterwards, head down the bridge towards the warehouse, then turn
west down the set of stairs, keep going through the narrow pathway
until you reach the second wooden platform, examine that area. Go
to the second floor of the CAFE here and examine the fishing rods.
Talk to the bartender on the first floor to borrow the PROGRESSIVE
ROD. Go back to wooden platform and use the rod to fish out the
WAREHOUSE KEY. Talk to Harg again to complete the quest.

ITEMS:
NONE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to move on with the story, exit north of RUAN and keep going
north/northwest until you reach the split path that leads to MERCIA
ORPHANAGE.
There are a bunch of things to be examined here:
1) Front door
2) Herb field

4) Barrels at the top right corner
5) Milk tanks to the east
6) Soil close to the flower bed below the milk tanks
7) Firewood to the immediate right of the entrance
8) Talk to the two people here to finish up with the investigation
Time for some deductive reasoning. Get it right for two extra BP!
The answer is obvious, someone purposely started the fire. After
Kloe joins you, head to MANORIA VILLAGE to the west on GULL SEASIDE
WAY. Enter the upper room, second floor of the inn for a scene,
leave and choose "The gang at the warehouse" for two more extra BP

the double door to the pier. Talk to the old guy for a scene. When
you're in RUAN - SOUTH BLOCK, head for the warehouse direct south
of the draw bridge, enter it for a scene and a boss battle:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 08: THE RAVENS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Rais, Rocco, Dean
HP: 750
Weakness: None
Name: Raven Gang Member x3
HP: 481
Weakness: None
This boss fight is a joke. Get rid of Rais first, he has a skill
that can revive dead allies back to full health. Even though none of
the enemies here is capable of dealing damages beyond 100, it is
still annoying having to knock them down repeatedly.
The rest of the fight should be straightforward, just use spells or
Crafts that target multiple enemies and finish them off.
You'll receive 9 BP and 3000 MIRA after reporting to Jean.
Watch the scene that follows, check the bulletin board, it's time
for more quests. You have to do these NOW, you won't be able to

Eggers explode when they die, so expect to eat some damage.
After this, escort the food maniac back to MANORIA VILLAGE to finish
the quest.

HIDDEN QUEST 6: CLEAR OUT THE OLD SCHOOL BUILDING
*************************************************
Time Limit: Before school festival starts
Head for the BACK ROAD behind the CLUBHOUSE, keep going till you
reach the OLD SCHOOLHOUSE. Go up to the building entrance for a
scene.
A word of caution here. The spiders in this place are extremely
agile and strong. They can also poison you. On top of that, Jill is
with you, as a useless NPC. Any careless move (eg. getting surprise
attacked) and you'll have your butt handed over to them.
Your goal here is to eliminate every single enemy in this building.
But let's grab the items first.
Go up to the front entrance of the building for a scene, enter it
and head for the right exit. On the next screen, go for the last
room to the right, keep going until you're outside again. Follow
the path to grab an EP CHARGE from the chest.
Come back, head up the stairs and take the left exit. Enter the

front of the cafeteria counter on the CLUBHOUSE's main floor and
agree to take him to the social studies room. Head downstairs after
this for another scene, then go to the OLD SCHOOLHOUSE.
Enter the building, head up the stairs to the right, enter the room
at the end for a scene.... and enjoy the play!
When everything's over, you can head over to the cafeteria and grab
a free VEGETABLE SANDWICH from the counter lady for your hard work.
Make your way back onto GULL SEASIDE WAY for a scene. DO NOT GO TO
MANORIA VILLAGE JUST YET, HEAD TO RUAN FIRST.
Talk to Maltida sitting on the bridge besides the HOTEL for CARNELIA
- CHAPTER 5. YOU MUST DO THIS RIGHT NOW. If you miss this for some
reason, you won't be able to grab it till your next playthrough. Oh,
and remember to upgrade your equipments, synthesize new quartz, etc.
The next few battles you're about to face are gonna be tough.
When you're ready, exit north of RUAN and head for MANORIA VILLAGE,
except... there's a bunch of monsters in your way.

Time Limit: No limit as you have to kill them in order to go to

Name: Stove Plant x2
HP: 389
Weakness: Water
Name: Shark Gator x2
HP: 389
Weakness: All
Name: Corn Mover
HP: 480
Weakness: Fire
Start by getting rid of the Stove Plants. It shouldn't take anything
more than a single Aqua Bleed. Have Joshua cast Hell Gate on grouped
enemies, his chanting should be fairly fast if you installed the
Cast 2 Quartz on him.
The Jabbas usually cast Stone Hammer, occasionally they roll up to
you and use melee, which leeches off your HP to replenish theirs,
and it hurts quite a bit, too. If you didn't modify Kloe's Orbments,
she should have Blue Impact by default. Casting that will take away
~800 HP off a single Jabba, combine that with Joshua's Hell Gate,
they should go down fairly quickly. The rest of the enemies are just
there for you to pound.
Now you can head for MANORIA VILLAGE. Go to the room on the second
floor of the INN and watch the scene, you'll be automatically taken
to MANORIA BYROAD. Take a few minutes to reconfigure Agate's Quartz
setup, the default may not be the best configuration out there.
Once you're done, head straight, follow Sieg to VARENNE LIGHTHOUSE.

BOSS FIGHT 10: DEEN AND GANG
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Deen
HP: 1980
Weakness: None
Name: Raven Gang Member x2
HP: 881
Weakness: None
Take out Deen first, he can lower your character's defense, boost
his underling's strength, and worst of all, revive them back to full
health if you leave him kicking for too long. Have Joshua and Kloe
both cast Hell Gate or whichever strongest single/multi-target spell
you have. It should be enough to take out Deen. If not, have Estelle
or Agate seal the deal off with a melee attack.
Heal up and head to the second floor for the next fight.

BOSS FIGHT 11: RAIS AND GANG
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Rais
HP: 1980

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Rocco
HP: 1980
Weakness: None
Name: Raven Gang Member x2
HP: 881
Weakness: None
Again, same strategy, deal with Rocco first before you take on his
henchmen.
Make sure you save and heal everyone to full health. The next battle
is gonna be tough.
Head up two floors for a scene and a final battle in this area.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 13: BLACK-CLAD SOLDIERS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Black-Clad Soldier x2
HP: 1280
Weakness: None
These guys are quick, powerful, and can delay your characters with
their Shadow Weaver move. Concentrate your attacks on one soldier
before you move onto the next. Forget about spells, just melee or
Craft them. Joshua's Flicker is very useful here. Heal with items if
you can't make it in time with the healing spells.
More scenes and a choice. It doesn't matter which one you choose,
when you are given control again, exit west of MANORIA VILLAGE and
keep moving towards RUAN. After Kloe leaves you'll automatically be
taken to the guild.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you go to MAYOR'S RESIDENCE in RUAN - SOUTH BLOCK, visit the
item shop and buy a copy of LIBERL NEWS - ISSUE 5. Make sure you
equip your characters with accessories that prevent poison and faint
and make sure you upgrade your armors if you still haven't done so.
Now go to your destination, enter the right corridor and up the
stairs into the room where the butler is standing next to. Watch the
scene here, and prepare for the final boss battle of this chapter.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 14: MAYOR'S PETS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Fango
HP: 2140
Weakness: None
Name: Bronco
HP: 1788
Weakness: None
These things are like Black-Clad Soldiers on steroids! If they gang
up on a single character, he/she won't survive. If you don't have
charms that prevent faint or poison, your party will likely become
their snacks.
Start off by using Kloe's Impose and Estelle's Morale, focus on the
foe that got debuffed, attack with your Crafts. If any character's
HP falls below half, heal immediately. Have Joshua use his Flicker
as often as he can. If the debuff effects disappear, use Impose
again. Kloe should be your healer in this battle and should do only
that (aside from using Impose).
Before the monster dies, it'll use Death Throes on the remaining
one to boost its strength and speed, and that's not funny at all.
Have Kloe use Impose immediately and kill it while it's debuffed.
Watch a series of events after this, you'll receive a total of 20 BP,
15000 MIRA, the RECOMMENDATION letter from Jean, and DEATHBLOW 1
Quartz (if your Bracer Rank reaches 3, which it should since you've
been diligently working on quests, right? ^__^).

another TEARA BALM in it. At the southwest corner (bottom left of
the map) where a lot of sheeps gather, there's a chest with a HIT 3
Quartz in it, but you need to defeat a bunch of Creepy Sheeps. If
you didn't upgrade Estelle and Joshua's armors, you should come back
later. Otherwise, have Joshua cast Hell Gate, and Estelle cast Fire-
based area spells. The sheeps usually end up clogging the areas
around you after attacking you, which make your magics even more
effective. Use Joshua's Flicker as you see fit, if you have any
Quartz equipped on Estelle that can inflict status aliments, her
Hurricane Craft will more than likely cause aliments on multiple
sheeps.

HP: 1766
Weakness: Fire & Wind
Name: Bane Cobra x4
HP: 766
Weakness: Fire & Wind
This fight can be difficult. The Bane Cobras can summon more of
their friends to battle, however, since this makes most of them
clump together in a tiny area, you should be able to use Tita's
Smoke Cannon and other area spells (eg. Aerial, Hell Gate, etc.) to
quickly dispose of them.
The snakes primary method of attack is Venom, which takes away ~200
HP with 100% chance of inflicting poison on you. Therefore, having
the White Bracelet on your characters will help immensely. Mercury
Viper isn't anything special, it's just a giant version of its
underlings with more HP. Once the small eggplants are gone, you can
smash it however you see fit.

moving towards the opposite direction (off the paved road), you
should eventually encounter an event, which throws you into a battle
against six Attack Dobermen.
I don't consider this a boss fight, they tend to gather around you
before they attack. Use Hell Gate, Stone Impact and other area spell
to take them out. Dorothy's flash will blind them, making the battle
even easier. If you have Joshua's Black Fang S-Craft, using it here
will significantly reduce the difficulty.
Once you're done, head back to ELMO VILLAGE, pick up Tita from the
PUMP SHED and report to Matilda in the INN. Head up the stairs into
the room at the lower right corner. When it's night time, come down

Elwyn to the right side of the stairs, he'll give one of the three
items for free, I'd pick PETRIFY Quartz myself. You can choose
whichever one you prefer.
Enter the complex, check the elevator first, then go for the
emergency stairs on the other side. There are smokescreens that can

back down to 1F, and go outside.
After the fiasco's over, head out of the factory, Dorothy will
leave. Go to the guild for an event. Professor Alba couldn't have
come at a better time, as an eye witness and all. Anyway, exit
south of ZEISS but do NOT go to CARNELIA TOWER just yet, instead
make your way to WOLF FORT, and talk to Bruno next to the two

The one with lower HP uses a machine gun, the other two use melee
attacks. These folks are tough, however, status aliments DO work on
them. I equipped Deathblow 1 on Joshua, which has a 10% K.O. rate
and by luck, I took two of them out with a single Flicker.
Equip Petrify on Agate and Estelle and give it a try if things don't
work out for you. Chances are, you might end up stoning them more
often than you think. By now, you should have La Teara on one of
your members, cast that whenever your members' HP fall below half.

the antitoxin for Agate. I highly recommend that you buy a few of
those necklaces that prevent Confuse from the weapon shop and equip
them on your characters. They'll make the upcoming boss battle a
breeze. Head down to CENTRAL FACTORY B1 to get to KALDIA TUNNEL.
At the intersection, go north. A little bulge of land to the east
on this path leads to a TEARA BALM.
Keep going till you reach an intersection, head northeast to the

north for a TEARA BALM, backtrack and take the east path and turn
north for a monster chest, you'll need to defeat five penguins
before getting the EP 3 Quartz. Head back to the latest branching
point, go east then south for a TEARA BALM. Go back to the previous
screen.
Backtrack to the intersection here and take the northwestern path
to another intersection, the road going downward takes you to an EP
CHARGE EX, whereas the one going upward takes you to the next area.

The Pink Penguins here can confuse your party, Equipping Lily
Necklaces on your characters will make the battle a breeze. If you
didn't do this, enjoy watching your characters wasting their turns
running amok or punching each other :D
Start by focusing all your attacks on Pink Penguins. If Joshua's
CP is above 100, use his Black Fang and take them out ASAP. Zane and
Tita can heal with their Crafts. Have your Fire mages cast Flare
Arrow on King Penguin, that should take off ~800 HP per chant.
The penguin king uses Thunder Breath fairly requently, which can hit
multiple targets in a line and may cause paralysis on its target(s).
In addition, it can also use Sonic Boom that deals heavy damage to
all characters (~400 HP). If it's gathering power, try to rush it
with your strongest Crafts and magics or just concentrate on healing.
Backtrack to KALDIA TUNNEL (just keep going south/southeast), then
ZEISS' CHAPEL and hand over the moss to Father vixen, you'll receive
the ARVE SOVEREIGN SERUM in return. Head to the CLINIC (4F, CENTRAL

Solid Dozers can delay your turn when they attack you.
So what to do? Start by casting Clock Up EX on your healer. If you
don't have this magic, use Clock Up instead. It's likely that before
you even get your turn, your enemies have already gathered around
you. If this is the case, use Aerial, Hell Gate, Hurricane, etc. on
them. Heal with La Teara. If Joshua's CP is at 200, look for a good
turn bonus and unleash Black Fang, it should theoretically take out
everything except Bloody Saber.
Once the underlings are gone, the rest of the battle should just be
a heal/attack game. Since Bloody Saber sucks blood, make sure you
finish it quickly.
You'll receive 6 BP and 3000 MIRA as rewards.
Keep moving to the next area and take the northern path when you
come across the intersection, you should be on SODAT ARMY ROAD now.

ITEMS:
TEARA BALM, REVIVING BALM, EP CHARGE EX, CURIA BALM
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a TEARA BALM and a REVIVING BALM to the western side of the
road. An EP CHARGE EX is located on the eastern side of the road
near the northern exit of the first area. A CURIA BALM is located
halfway to your left in the second area, keep moving north till you
reach LEISTON FORTRESS.
Head up for a scene, it doesn't matter what you choose here, just
pick one to move the story along. When you've taken control again,
head towards the exit for a scene.

/ZEISS\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
DETECTOR JAMMER, LEISTON FORTRESS MAP
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Choose "The Royal Guardsmen are being set up?" for 4 extra BP and
watch the rest of the dialogue. Head to Russell's workshop southwest
of ZEISS, enter the room to the right, then head up the stairs and
check the bottom right corner to retrieve the DETECTOR JAMMER. Head
back to the guild again to receive LEISTON FORTRESS MAP from Kilika,
enjoy watching Agate's tsundere mode kicking into gears. XD
If you still have unfinished quests, do them now. You won't be able
to complete them if you get on the airship. When you're ready, go to
ZEISS LANDING PORT beside CENTRAL FACTORY, and talk to Murdock on
the lower platform. Choose to "Liftoff", and off to LEISTON FORTRESS
you go!
While you're on the ship, talk to everyone, head out onto the deck
for a scene, then get back down to the basement and talk to Gustav
to progress the story.

/LEISTON FORTRESS\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
ORBAL CALCULATOR
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Choose to go to the Research Wing (it doesn't matter which one you
choose really, it won't affect the amount of BP you receive). There
is a RECOVERY POINT right around the cargo, use it to your advantage.
Head to the next area through the bridge to the west, then aim for
the northwestern exit. Enter for a scene, stick to the walls to your
left until you reach a barred window, examine it for a scene.
Head a little right from where you are for a battle against two
Special Ops Soldiers. I don't consider this a boss fight, you've
fought them twice already, they hit hard and have more HP this time
around. Just heal when you see fit and pound them to death. Enter
the facility for a scene, Joshua'll retrieve the ORBAL CALCULATOR,
after some chitchat, head out and exit south for a scene.
SAVE YOUR GAME, NOW! Screw up the next part and you can bid farewell
to your 2 bonus BP. Since soldiers have been dispatched to search
for intruders, every time your cover is blown, you lose 1 BP. Repeat
this three times and you won't get any bonus BP here.
So, with your camera facing SOUTH, stick to the iron walls to your
left and follow the path until you reach the first building with a
door. Watch the guards here, get into the complex when they face
away from you. You should now be inside the COMMAND CENTER. Go left
and down the stairs at the end of hall for a funny scene, when you
are back up, attempt to exit through the entrance, then head right
into the next area and enter the door at the very end.
After the scene, head north to reunite with everyone and enjoy the
last bits here as the chapter wraps up. Save your game, and prepare
for the finale.

Professor Russell.
Head for the LANDING PORT and talk to Gerald by the booth to receive
BOARDING PASS x2. Go to the boarding dock below for a scene, talk
to Gerald again for a scene. Do not go to SANKTHEIM GATE just yet,
instead head to AIR-LETTEN CHECKPOINT via KALDIA TUNNEL (CENTRAL
FACTORY B1) and talk to Private Orta (inn, upper right room) here
to receive a copy of CARNELIA - CHAPTER 8.
Again, this is time sensitive, once you reach SANKTHEIM GATE, you
can no longer obtain it. Make sure to leech it off Orta now!
Go back to ZEISS, exit east of the city and keep going east till
you reach SANKTHEIM GATE.

too perfect. Exit at the other end of the gate, you should be on
ROYAL AVENUE now. Most east for a scene, then head north towards
GRANCEL.
When you reach the intersection on the next screen, move northeast
and keep going east until you reach GRUNE GATE. Enter the gate and
up the stairs to 2F, take the first exit you see when you walk down
the hall, keep going south on the wall here until you find Private
Selbourne, who'll hand over CARNELIA - CHAPTER 9 as a gift.
Leave GURUNE GATE, and keep going west/northwest until you reach

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Professor will take his leave once you enter the city. Time to do
some shopping! There are some new recipes and foods you should try
at the CAFE and the foodstands. Start by upgrading your armors and
shoes, then head for the ORBMENT FACTORY and synthesize some higher
level Quartz (eg. HP 3, Mind 3, Attack 3, etc.). Go to GENERAL GOODS
in EAST BLOCK and buy LIBERL NEWS - ISSUE 8 from the bookstore there.
Finally, report to the guild here to progress the story.
Watch the scenes as you enter the guild, choose "That letter would
just get crumpled up?" for 1 extra BP, then leave the guild and head
north past NORTH BLOCK to GRANCEL CASTLE.
Those two guards sure talk A LOT in front of complete strangers...
Anyway, go back to SOUTH BLOCK, then east to EAST BLOCK and talk to
Lifa by the ticket booth beside the GRAND ARENA, pay 1000 MIRA, grab
your GRAND ARENA TICKETS and show them to the receptionist in front
of the entrance to get in. Go for the left exit and up the stairs,
enjoy the matches! Afterwards, exit through the iron gate to the
north, down the stairs, go north, then east and enter the room to
your right for a scene.
Leave the guild and enter the CAFE right above it for a graceful
encounter with Olivier. Next, go to CALVARD EMBASSY direct south of
EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE in the EAST BLOCK and talk to the guard there.
Time to look for Zane.
Leave GRANCEL, move south at the first intersection, then east at
the next to reach ERBE SCENIC ROUTE
====================================================================
-----------------
/ERBE SCENIC ROUTE\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
SHIELD 3, DEFENSE 3, TEARA BALM, DEATHTOUCH 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Move east till you reach the first branching point. Take the
northeastern path until you see a monuement, northwest of it is a
monster chest with a SHIELD 3 Quartz. If you upgraded your armors,
this fight should be a piece of cake. Estelle's Hurricane Craft
alone is enough to handle them. Backtrack and take the south route
this time, keep going south past the next intersection until you
reach another monument. Behind it is a monster chest containing the
DEFENSE 3 Quartz. Backtrack to the previous intersection and move
east to the next area.
Move until you reach an intersection, the north route eventually
leads to a branching point on the next screen (there's a TEARA BALM
near the corner when the road makes its second turn here). You'll
find a DEATHBLOW 2 by taking the western path there, the eastern
branch takes you onto ROYAL AVENUE. Before you go for the south
route, make sure to equip accessories that prevent Poison on Estelle
and Joshua. Head there for a fight against three bees, then...
another fight against a swarm of them, good thing Zane joins you
here.
More often than not, when you damage the bees, they run away. If you
want the experience points, make sure to finish them off as quickly
as you can. The bees poison you every time they hit, having White
Bracelets on your characters is essential.

ROOM 202 KEY, REGISTRY CARD, 20000 MIRA, GRANCEL SEWER KEY A
--------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, sit back and watch the long scenes, you'll receive
the ROOM 202 KEY, head up the stairs to your left and check the door
to your right.
After Zane and Olivier join the next morning, make sure to configure
their equipments and Quartz. Olivier is a very good magic user, you
should try to forge as many spells as possible by installing higher
level Quartz into his Orbment Slots. Zane, on the other hand, is a
fighter. Equipping Defense 3, Attack 3 and other Space/Time Quartz
will help immensely.
When you're ready, head to GRAND ARENA and talk to Lifa by the booth
to register. You'll receive the REGISTRY CARD, which you should show
to the receptionist in front of the entrance, tell him you're ready
to get in.
Once you're inside, head for the right exit, enter the door on your
left down the hallway. When you're inside, talk to EVERYONE to get
the match rolling. When it's your turn, head for the arena area,
and get ready to kick some ass!

HP: 3029
Weakness: All
Those thugs have powered up quite a bit since the last fight. Don't
underestimate them! Start with Rais, since he can revive dead allies.
Other than boosting ally's strength and lowering your defenses, the
Ravens only have melee attacks, which means they have to gather
around you, making area Orbal Arts and Crafts your most effective
offense.
If you have Aerial, you can probably catch all of them in one chant,
otherwise use Hell Gate and other smaller radius spells, but direct
them at Rais.
Observe the rest of the matches, you'll receive 20000 MIRA as prize
for passing the preliminary rounds. After the Ravens hand over
GRANCEL SEWER KEY A, talk to Elnan inside the guild, then head over
to the HOTEL for a scene.

The next morning, head to GRANCEL - WEST BLOCK and unlock the sewer
gates behind the CAFE. Go down the stairs and keep moving untill the
path starts going south, at the halfway poing, there's a rusted
metal bridge to your left, go across it into the next area and head
down the stairs to grab CHOMPING SPARE RIB here. Backtrack to the
path leading south again, and keep going down till you're in a large
room. Take the southern exit and go east for a TEARA BALM. Return
and take go west this time for a set of stairs leading down. Follow
the one way path and go up the stairs for another TEARA BALM.
Backtrack all the way to the large room, and take the exit to your
right. Eventually you should find yourself in a corridor with three
exits. Enter the upper left one first, move across the bridges till
you find a chest with one more TEARA BALM in it. Direct south of the
chest is a bridge that leads to a bunch of Scissor Hands that need
to be exterminated.

OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 08: SCISSOR HANDS

Name: Scissor Hands x8
HP: 980
Weakness: All
These guys have 300% weakness against elemental spells, if you can
cast Aerial, set the center of the circle right in front of your
character (assuming the turn you unleash this spell is after your
enemies move), and watch those poor losers rush into you and vanish.
If you don't have Aerial, use other multi-target area Arts and aim
at different Scissor Hands so that your magics overlap and cover
every single enemy. Scissor Hands' melees do carry a 10% instant K.O.
effect, unless you deliberately waste your turns messing around,
it's unlikely to happen.
You'll receive 8 BP and 3000 MIRA when you report to Elnan.
Go back to the corridor with three exits and take the lower exit
this time for the last TEARA BALM.
That's it for all the treasures you can loot. I know you saw some
other chests along the way you couldn't reach, you just have to
remain patient and wait for the story to progress further before you
can explore these areas.

If you think you're characters are strong enough (should be around

receptionist by the entrance and kick start the next series of
match! Oh yeah, use the HOTEL to heal up if you're low on HP or EP.
Attempt to go through the exit to your right for a scene, then head
for the same waiting room you stayed at yesterday for another scene.
Enter the arena and get ready for the next battle.

BOSS FIGHT 20: LIBERL BRACERS

Name: Anelace
HP: 2630
Weakness: None
Name: Grant
HP: 3256
Weakness: None
Name: Carna
HP: 2892
Weakness: None
Name: Kurt
HP: 3550
Weakness: None
Start with Kurt. He can heal and revive fallen allies, and he can
buff their defense. None of the remaining Bracers are particularly
threatening. Carna can blind you with her gun, Grant can do okay
physical damage, and Anelace is a noob, although she does use her
Craft occasionally to deal heavy damage to a single target (~700 HP).
Kurt and Carna usually stay behind and act as supports while Grant
and Anelace rush you. Have Estelle use her Morale Craft on Zane,
and let him handle the two. Joshua and Olivier should focus on spell
casting. Area Orbal Arts are good, but your primary goal is to take
down Kurt first. If your area spells cannot cover multiple targets,
use higher level single target magics like Blue Impact, Petrify
Breath, Napalm Breath, Shadow Spear, etc. on Kurt. By the way, you
can inflict status aliments on your enemies. I was able to petrify
both Kurt and Grant with Estelle's Hurricane move because I equipped
the Petrify Quartz on her.
Once Kurt's down, you can start torturing the remaining members of
of his team. As usual, heal when needed and unleash S-Crafts if
you're in serious danger.
Watch the Capua Family getting slaughtered, and grab your prize of
40000 MIRA. Afterwards, go to LIBERL NEWS SERVICE in the WEST BLOCK
(right next to the CAFE) and head up to the stairs for a scene, read
all three people's profiles, when the multiple choice comes up, pick
Richard to receive 2 extra BP, Duke Dunan for 1 extra BP (...), or
Queen Alicia for nothing (...m'kay, that's just gross).
Talk to Elnan inside the guild to receive GRACEL SEWER KEY B, watch
the events, go to your room for a scene. Leave the HOTEL and SAVE
YOUR GAME, NOW!
You can probably guess what I'll say, yes, this is exactly like the
stealth crap you pulled at LEISTON FORTRESS, except this time it's
much harder. If you want all 5 bonus BP, you must not be detected
even once on your trip to the CATHEDRAL. If you made it there after
getting caught once or twice, the bonus BP will be reduced to 3, if
you get spotted more than three times, you'll only get 1 extra BP,
and if you got sent back to the HOTEL more than five times, you get
nothing.
To make it worse, this is your one and only chance to snatch a copy
of CARNELIA - CHAPTER 10. So let's start with that.
Stick to the walls/fences/whatever, head north and turn east to go
to the EAST BLOCK (check your map by pressing SELECT if you're lost).
Watch the patrols here! Stick to the building to your north and keep
going north till you reach the LANDING PORT. There are no soldiers
here so you can move around freely. Head down the stairs to the
north, turn right and go down two more sets of stairs till you find
the boarding bridge. Get on the parked airship, talk to Ralph there
to obtain CARNELIA - CHAPTER 10.
THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO GRAB IT, MAKE SURE YOU DO IT NOW.
Leave the LANDING PORT, if you haven't been spotted yet, SAVE YOUR
GAME. Stick to the walls to your right (opposite of the MUSEUM),
halt your feet before the wall turns, watch the movements of the
patrol units. Move south across the street and DON'T STOP MOVING
until you reach the stairs leading up to EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE's
western entrance. Stick to the entrance here, save your game if you
must, wait till the patrols are gone, dash across to the opposite
side, move south and turn west for the exit to GRANCEL - SOUTH
BLOCK.
SAVE, and stick to the walls along the same side of the guild. Halt
your feet before the walls make a turn and watch the soldiers'
patterns here, there are quite a few patrol units on either side of
the boulevard. When you see an opening, dash across and hide at the
corner between the EQUIPMENT SHOP and that other building (with a
yellow bar indicating its entrance). Wait until the guard walks past
you, quickly make your turn by sticking to EQUIPMENT SHOP's walls
and keep going until you reach the exit leading to WEST BLOCK.
SAVE YOUR GAME RIGHT NOW. Go south and down the stairs, but do not
cross the street, stick to the side of the house by right of the
stairs and watch the soldiers' movements: there are four patrols
circling around the CAFE, and they travel in pairs, one in front and
another one a few steps behind. As soon as the "second" soldier
passes by, tail him, but keep your distance. Move too fast and he'll
spot you, move too slow and you'll be caught by the other pair
behind you. As soon as you see the stairs to the north, go up and
head west to the CATHEDRAL. Congratulations, you have successfully
finished one of the most tedious parts of the game!
Enter the CATHEDRAL, relax and watch the scenes to receive JULIA'S
LETTER.

Remember those chests you couldn't loot in the sewers? Well, you can
do that now. Head for northeast corner in GRANCEL - EAST BLOCK and
unlock the gates with the key Elnan gave you.
Head downstairs across the bridge into a long corridor with multiple
rooms. Go left, keep moving until you reach the other side of the
corridor with two exits. The first one leads to a TEARA BALM, the
second one leads to a monster chest with a GLADIATOR HEADBAND. Get
rid of the Egger Gs first, their Plasma Wave can do a ton of damage.
Keep moving and head into the exit to your right. Go down the one
way path till you move across a rusted bridge. Turn right, get
across the bridge to the far end and down the stairs. Keep moving,
up the stairs and grab the HAWKEYE (Olivier's weapon) from the
monster chest.
Backtrack to the screen with bridges, take the other bridge to your
left and into the next area. Keep moving until you come to a T-
intersection with a road leading west. Take that path, go across the
rusty bridge to your left for a monster chest containing Zane's
weapon CESTUS. Go back one screen and head up, follow the road and
take the narrow split at the very end for a TEARA BALM. Start making
your way back to the southern exit, you should find yourselves in
front of the T-intersection again.
Turn right and enter the new area below. Keep going to the very end
and take the exit to your left, head down the stairs, save, heal up
and get ready for some monster extermination. If you have accessory
that prevents Freeze, equip it on just in case.

Use multi-target spells and Crafts. Fire-based ones are optimal but

the chance of inflicting Freeze status on your characters. Use Curia
if you didn't equip any freeze charm. Frankly, I haven't seen my
party frozen as a result of this attack, if you time your spells
well, the battle should be over in as few as four turns (excluding
enemy turns).
You'll get 8 BP and 3000 MIRA after reporting to Elnan.

Anton who's standing below the stairs south of EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE.
The dude will tell you that he's waiting for this beautiful girl to
pass by him three times before he makes a confession. The girl's
name is Marsha, a purple haired psycho who keeps walking around the
department store without purpose, just like a standard NPC. So wait
for her with Anton, when she comes near, Anton will turn around and
display the love symbol over his head. Talk to Marsha, then Anton,
and wait for Marsha to loop around to the same spot again. Talk to
Anton and Marsha a second time, then tail Marsha until she comes to
a stop at the southeastern corner outside the shop. A "..." bubble
will show up over her head. Talk to her, and she'll start moving
again, once she's in front of Anton, talk to Anton to receive
CARNELIA - FINALE.
YOU NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE COMPETING AT THE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT.
Congratulations, you now have all eleven volumes of Carnelia, a
grand prize awaits, so hold on to them tight! :)
If you think you're ready to face the Intelligence Division, heal up
and head to the GRAND ARENA. You should be at least level 29, and
have upgraded to the newest equipments. If you can, buy enoughs
accessories that guard against Faint, and try forging higher level
Orbal Arts like Plasma Wave, Clock Up EX, La Teara, etc.
Tell the receptionist in front of the entrance that you're ready,
after some dialogues, head down the hallway, go upstairs and chat
with Kurt, Dorothy and Professor Alba. Afterwards, head downstairs
and exit to the entrance hall to your right for a scene, then go
back to the waiting room to progress the story. When you're ready,
enter the arena and let the final match begin!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 21: THE INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: 2nd Lieutenant Lorence
HP: 6000
Weakness: None
Name: Special Ops Soldier x2
HP: 3550
Weakness: None
I didn't find this battle to be too hard. Lorence uses Earth Guard,
Body Split, and Tearal fairly frequently. Earth Guard nullifies all
damages once, Body Split generates a clone of himself with 200%
weakness to elemental Arts, and Tearal recovers 1000 HP.
If you can cast Clock Up EX, use it on your entire party. If not,
ready area Arts such as Aerial and focus on taking out Lorence's
puppies. Unleash your S-Craft as soon as a critical turn bonus
appears. You might find Lorence using Body Split twice in a row,
wait until his clones get near and take them out with one multi-
target elemental spell.
As for Lorence himself, focus on casting higher level single target
magics like Blue Impact, Petrifying Breath, etc. He'll heal when his
HP falls below 70%, but if all four of your members are ganging up
on him, his Tearal is practically useless.
You'll receive an INVITATION and 100000 MIRA from Duke Dunan. After
Mueller drags poor Olivier away, head north from NORTH BLOCK, keep
going for a scene, you should now be at GRANCEL CASTLE - FOYER. Once
you're outside your room, talk to Mayor Klaus/Dean Collins (the room
directly below yours), and Mayor Maybelle/Lila (the room right next
to yours).
When you're done with that, leave by the right exit and keep heading
right into the other wing, talk to Mr. Murdock (first room to your
right). After the conversation, exit and head right to the end of
the hall and up the stairs. Walk up to the entrance of the keep for
a scene.
Head back to your room (2F, left wing, upper left room) as Hilda
suggested and watch the long scene that's about to follow. Once it's
over, head towards the FOYER for a chat with Colonel Richard. When
he leaves, go to the FOYER again, and down the stairs. Get in the
room right next to the audience chamber and enjoy the cross-dressing
fanservice of Joshua again.
Anyway, up the stairs and into the right wing, walk to the end of
the hall and up the stairs. Head towards the entrance of the keep
for a scene. Leave Princess Klaudia's room and examine the only room
on 2F, sit back and enjoy an old story from the Queen.
Once you're given control again, get out of the keep. As for name
choices, pick whichever one you want. The name Joshua chose has
fairly significant implication, but that's to be revealed in the
sequel. Head back to the castle for a scene, attempt to go upstairs
only to be stalked by Amalthea... pick whatever you want here and
move the story along.
After reporting to Elnan the following morning, you'll receive 10
BP (assuming you selected the right answers and didn't screw up the
stealth mission) and 20000 MIRA. Your Bracer Rank should now reach 1,
which awards you with a GLADIATOR BELT.
To find your fellow Bracers, visit the following locations:
1) Kurt - HOTEL (NORTH BLOCK) 2F northeast room
2) Carna - EQUIPMENT SHOP (SOUTH BLOCK) 2F
3) Anelace - EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE (EAST BLOCK)
4) Grant - CAFE (SOUTH BLOCK)
You should also buy a copy of LIBERL NEWS - ISSUE 9 when you are at
EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE.
When this manhunt ends, head to the CATHEDRAL (WEST BLOCK), enter
the room to the immediate right of the entrance and talk to Currant
on 2F.
Next, head for THE LIBERL NEWS SERVICE by the CAFE (WEST BLOCK) and
go up to 2F for a scene. Choose "Someone had just called him", then
"An arranged marriage for Princess Klaudia" for 4 bonus BP.
If you have all eleven chapters of the Carnelia series, now is the
time to redeem a prize for your hard work! Go to the CAFE right
beside THE LIBERL NEWS SERVICE and talk to the bartender there. He
will hand over the ultimate weapon for either Estelle or Joshua in
exchange for your Carnelia collection.
Finally, talk to Elnan inside the guild for a scene. If you still
haven't finished the sewer monster hunting quests, this is your last
chance to do them. Once you're ready, talk to Elnan again to begin
the rescue mission.

take out the three Special Ops Soldiers. Leave by the exit to your
left and elminiate another group of Special Ops Soliders/Dogs. If
you enter and exit the first room along the corridor to your left,
you'll be greeted by three Special Ops Soldiers. You can use this
opportunity to train your party if you want, but your real goal is
the LOUNGE room, which is the last room along the left corridor.
Prepare to face four soldiers when you enter, and three more when
you leave.
Examine the central door to the north, head back to the LOUNGE and
talk to Raymond again (you can rest here!). Knock out the three
soldiers as you leave, and head for the GALLERY, which is right next
to the locked central door. Examine the large red vase to at the
bottom right corner for the SPARE KEY. Use it on the locked door,
enter the building and prepare for a semi-boss fight.

BOSS FIGHT 22: HEAVILY ARMED GUARDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Heavily Armed Guard x2
HP: 2660
Weakness: None
These guys are much tougher than the ones you encountered so far.
Their Heavy Edge skill can deal serious damages to anyone within its
range (500-700 HP), it may also cause Faint. You're best to use S-
Crafts right away. If you can't unleash any at the moment, use
Joshua's Flicker or Evil Eye to delay the guards' turns. Other than
Zane, no one should use melee attacks, focus on healing and casting
higher level Orbal Arts with Estelle and Joshua. Don't wait for your
CP to reach 200, S-Craft those bastards as soon as it's ready.
Enter the door for a long scene.
====================================================================
------------------
/GRACEL NORTH SEWER\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
TEAR ALL BALM x2, CLOAK, REFLECTOR
--------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're given control to Joshua's team, head for the SEWER at
the northeast corner of EAST BLOCK. You can check the location of
that hidden passage by pressing SELECT. Anyway, head downstairs,
turn right, then up in the next area and enter the door to your
right. Follow the one way path till you cross a rusty bridge. From
there, go up, turn right and cross the first bridge you see. Enter
the next area and keep going till you can turn left.
Follow this path until you come to a T-intersection, take the exit
to your left and keep heading north until you find three narrow
paths along the north corridor. Take the middle one and examine the
deadend to reveal the hidden area.
Enter and follow the path until you reach GRANCEL SEWER - NORTH
BLOCK. Go left, then down through the exit. In the new area, move
left and across the rusty bridge to your right. Head left, the down
and grab the TEAR ALL BALM from the chest. Exit south and snatch the
REFLECTOR armor from the monster chest. You'll be thrown against
five Eggers and a Bone Fish. Use S-Craft or area spells and get rid
of the Eggers before their Arts are executed. Backtrack all the way
to the rusty bridge, move left and up into the exit at the end.
Follow this path all the way to a deadend for another TEAR ALL BALM,
run back about half way and across the bridge there. Follow this
corridor across another bridge and into the exit below. Keep moving
in the new area until you start moving west. Go all the way to the
end, enter the room and down the stairs. Head all the way right and
up the stairs. In the new area, go across the bridge for a monster
chest with a CLOAK Quartz in it.
Backtrack until you're back in the corridor with two rooms. Go right
and enter the middle room. Keep going straight (forget about the
branching paths, they lead to nothing), and up the stairs. Attempt
to exit at the bottom right for an option. If you want to proceed
with the story, choose to standby.
Now, if you want to get every possible BP in this playthrough, you
will need to defeat a very tough boss with Estelle, Schera and Kloe
in the near future. In reality, it is simply a story battle which
you don't have to win, BUT you CAN if you have the proper equipments
and Quartz setup. If victory is what you seek, I encourage that you
consider my advice here.
First, you need to make sure you have at least the following Quartz
in your inventory ready for installation:
-Three Cast 2 (200 Time Sepiths/Quartz)
-Two Action 3 (800 Time Sepiths/Quartz)
-Three Shield 3 (800 Wind Sepiths/Quartz)
-One Impede 3 (Reward from Temp Librarian Quest)
-One Impede 2 (300 Wind Sepiths/Quartz)
-Two EP Cut 2 (100 Time, 200 Space, 100 Mirage Sepiths/Quartz)
-One EP 3 (500 Time, 500 Space, 800 Mirage Sepiths/Quartz)
-Three Defense 3 (800 Earth Sepiths/Quartz)
If you did your quests, looted every treasure and have been actively
synthesizing Quartz throughout the game, chances are, you already
have some of them in your bag. If you installed some of these into
the Orbment Slots of Joshua/Olivier/Zane, remove them and replace
with something else (you can do this a little bit later).
Now I know Action 3 costs a lot of Time Sepiths, but it's absolutely
crucial that you create at least one. If you don't have enough, you
can farm them by killing Black Sheeps in GRANCEL NORTH SEWERS with
Joshua's party. This is your last chance to farm Sepiths before
facing that boss.
====================================================================

ITEMS:

Now it's Estelle's turn. Go on the ship for a scene. You can create
Quartz and buy items here. This is your last chance to synthesize
Action 3 and Cast 2. If you want to win that upcoming boss battle,
make sure you purchase accessories that prevent Confuse and Faint.
Below are my equipments and Quartz configurations for Estelle, Kloe,
and Schera. You DON'T have to mimic mine exactly nor do you have to
do this right now, you can wait after you finish Duke Dunan.

When you're ready, board the ship. Back to Joshua. Reconfigure your
Quartz and equipments here and go up the stairs at the bottom right
corner for a fight against four soldiers and two dogs (should be a
breeze by now). Watch the scene, Estelle's team will now face the
fox-faced woman. I don't consider this a boss fight because it's
ridiculously easy. Amalthea is just a Special Ops Gunner capable of
casting Shadow Spear and using Poison Spray. She has weak defense,
one S-Craft from Estelle is more than enough to take her out. If
that's not possible, just melee her with all three characters. Heal,
go north for a fight against three pawns and two dogs, keep going
for another battle against two soldiers and four dogs. Heal up, the
next battle is slightly tougher. Enter the keep and learn what not
to say to women...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 23: DUKE DUNAN AND GUARDS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Duke Dunan von Auslese
HP: 1010
Weakness: None
Name: Heavily Armed Soldier
HP: 2660
Weakness: None
Name: Special Ops Soldier x2
HP: 1620
Weakness: None
DO NOT KILL DUKE DUNAN. Do that and you can kiss your 2 bonus BP
goodbye. However, leaving him alive is a huge disadvantage because
as soon as Dunan gets his turn, he boosts his guards' strengths. As
if the Heavily Armed Soldier isn't strong enough, with the STR buff,
he can now take away roughly 60% of your HP with a single blow. Add
the two machine gunners' attacks, which can also deal ~500 damage
per hit, and you'll find your characters dying faster than you can
heal them. Use Kloe's Impose right after the soldiers are buffed,
and cast your best spells. Use Schera's Heavenly Kiss to speed up
their chanting process. If you plan on winning the next boss fight,
save your S-Crafts here.
Head up the stairs and go through the next two doors to the balcony
for a scene. This is the story battle I mentioned earlier. You can
just lose here and move on with the story, or you can defeat Lorence
for 3 extra BP. If the latter is your choice, keep reading.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT 10: 2ND LIEUTENANT LORENCE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: 2nd Lieutenant Lorence
HP: 6000
Weakness: None
If you followed my suggestions on Quartz setup and equipments, this
battle should be a breeze. Cast Clock Up EX on all your characters
from the get go, and use Kloe's Impose on Lorence. Throw your best
single target spells on Lorence while he's debuffed and watch his
anger meter explode. Sooner or later, he'll use his S-Craft Demon
Flames, which takes ~400 HP off everyone with the chance of causing
Faint.
When you deplete his HP to ~4500, he'll start using Tearal and Earth
Guard EX. Melee him with Estelle and Schera, since you installed
Impede 2 and Impede 3 on them, their attacks should be sufficient to
interrupt his Arts. Lorence's offensive Art, Silver Thorn, may
confuse your characters, but if you equipped Lily Necklace prior to
battle, this attack is practically useless.
If you saved your S-Crafts from the previous battle, you can unleash
them while Lorence is debuffed and his HP is below 3000. My Estelle
with her crappy Octavian Stave can do ~2000 damage to him without
any turn bonus. Combine that with Schera's S-Craft, and Lorence is
toast.
Ignore any clones Lorence generates and just focus on pounding the
real deal, when Lorence himself is down, his clones will disappear
automatically.
Defeating Lorence gives you 3 extra BP, but he'll still p0wn you in
the subsequent event. Watch a bunch of scenes, and you'll receive
a total of 40000 MIRA and 20 BP for successfully rescuing Princess
Klaudia and Queen Alicia.

/AUREOLE: SEALED AREA - 1ST LEVEL\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
MAGESTA, CELESTIAL BALM x2, DAEDALUS ARM, TEARA BALM x2, NINETAILS,
ROYAL GUARD, EP CHARGE EX, TEAR ALL BALM
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Oreo... uhh... AUREOLE, the ancient ruins made of vanilla
and chocol- *shot*.
Before you get to explore this final dungeon, you need to pick two
other party members aside from Estelle and Joshua. I chose Kloe and
Olivier because they are potent spell casters.
I'm going to break this dungeon into four parts, each part dedicated
to a single floor. It's easier for me to write and easier for you to
keep track of where you are. To simply things even further, I made
a map for this level, which should be more visually appealing than
the walls of texts below.
You can check out the map for the current level here:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/psp/933329-the-legend-of-heroes-trails-in-
the-sky/faqs/62222
Head down and turn right at the intersection till you reach the next
area. Move down the corridor through the exit, turn right and enter
the subsequent hallway, run till you see a room to your left, follow
the path to a MAGESTA guarded by a bunch of droids. The three Photon
Judges could pose a big problem if you can't cast your Arts fast
enough since they can cancel your spells with AA Canceler. On top of
that, they can also send Donkey Missle to damage multiple members in
your party while inflicting Mute at the same time. Use S-Crafts if
you can and elimiate Photon Judges first. Don't dwell on this fight
if you can't win at the moment, come back when your CP is full and
kick their asses in one turn!
Return to the previous horizontal corridor and head right into the
room at the end for a CELESTIAL BALM. Exit and keep going west till
the path starts turning north. Enter the next area and head down the
one way path until you find yourself in a large room with a chest
containing a TEARA BALM. Exit to the south, ignore the entrance to
your left, instead follow the corridor to the end for a CELESTIAL
BALM. Backtrack and go through the entrance you just ignored.
In the next area, keep heading west into a large room with a monster
chest containing Zane's DAEDALUS ARM. The three D-Series Dooms are
a pain in the butt to deal with. They continuously summon droids and
have thick skins. Your best bet is to cast Shadow Spear, which has
a 20% chance of instant K.O.. Otherwise, use Joshua's Black Fang and
other area spells to take them out.
Go back and take the right exit this time, follow the path until you
reach the elevator. Do not go down to SEALED AREA - 2ND LEVEL just
yet, instead, move right and through the corridors into a room with
a monster chest containing a ROYAL GUARD. Go back to the elevator
room and take the southern exit this time. The corridor here leads
to four separate rooms, each with a chest inside:
1) East room - TEAR ALL BALM
2) Southeastern room - NINE TAILS (monster chest)
3) West room - TEARA BALM
4) Southwestern room - EP CHARGE EX
When you looted everything here, take the elevator down to SEALED
AREA - 2ND LEVEL.

====================================================================
ITEMS:
ATLUS GEAR, TEARA BALM x3, SYLPHEN BOOTS, HAUTECLERE, VALKYRIE DRESS,

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Head north for two screens, take the left path and keep going west
till you reach two exits, both with chests containing TEARA BALMs.
From where you are, keep going east until you reach a set of stairs
leading down, with three exits below. The left exit leads to a
monster chest holding an ATLUS GEAR. The right exit takes you to a
corridor with three more rooms:
1) Southeastern room 1 - SYLPHEN BOOTS (monster chest)
2) Southeastern room 2 - HAUTECLERE (monster chest)
3) East room - VALKYRIE DRESS (monster chest)
The south exit takes you to a horizontal hallway with three more
exits, some of these rooms contain multi-screen linear paths which I
won't go into great details, just keep following the road till you
reach the target:
1) West exit - stairs -> elevator back to SEALED AREA - 1ST LEVEL ->
BERSERKER (monster chest)
2) Southeastern exit - TEAR ALL BALM
3) East exit - elevator room leading to SEALED AREA - 3RD LEVEL
There's a chest with a TEARA BALM north of the elevator. Take the
elevator down to SEALED AREA - 3RD LEVEL

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit south. In the next area, take the western branch about halfway
down the corridor, keep going until you reach an elevator that
brings you back to SEALED AREA - 2ND LEVEL. Exit left to find a room
with a monster chest containing THOR'S HAMMER for Tita.
Backtrack to the branching point and go south into SEALED AREA - 3RD
LEVEL HALL, go down and make a right turn at the intersection for a
battle against Amalthea.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 24: CAPTAIN AMALTHEA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Captain Amalthea
HP: 6880
Weakness: None
Name: Gundoll x2
HP: 3866
Weakness: None
Amalthea isn't as wimpy as the previous fight. Her physical defense
is pretty high and her spells can deal ~700 damage. She still has
Poison Spray, but there's an even cheaper move she tends to pull,
and it's called Absorb. Basically, it leeches 200 EP off its target.
Yeah, you read it right, 200 EP.
Should you be concerned and turn your attention on her? Nope. You
should focus on getting rid of the Gundolls first. While these
machines are weak by themselves, they can summon M-Series Doom. The
Doom droids can cast higher level elemental Arts; if you allow the
Gundolls to summon too many of them, you'll likely suffer.
Occasionally, one or both of the Gundolls malfunction, inflicting
Confuse on themselves, use this to your advantage and start using
higher level magics to destroy them as efficiently as you can.
Once the new base has been established, you can switch characters,
synthesize Quartz, buy accessories, items, etc. Note that if you
don't plan on backtracking all the way here after you reach the last
level in this dungeon, the members you pick here will be the ones
that are participating in the final boss battles. So think carefully
about who you wanna use. Again, I chose Olivier and Kloe.
When you're done with upgrades and whatnot, exit east and enter the
first door to your right for an EP CHARGE EX. Return and head east
until you're in a hallway with four doors (including the one you
came in). Ignore the exit to your immediate west, keep moving till
you enter the east room, where you'll find an EP CHARGE EX. Come out
and take the south exit right below you.
Keep moving for two screens till you reach a hall with four exits.
Head west and keep going in that direction, ignore the south exit
for now and head straight into the room you're facing for the last
EP CHARGE EX on this floor. Come out and take the south exit, move
all the way to the end and enter the door there for one more pair of
SYLPHEN BOOTS (monster chest). Leave, head back and take the west
exit. After going through two long hallways, go south, enter the
corridor that leads to two rooms, each with a TEARA BALM. Backtrack
and keep going north, then west, enter the west room for a monster
chest containing the ATLUS GEAR. The M-Series Dooms can cast high
level Orbal Arts, they also self-detruct when dying, keep your
distance! Exit and enter the north room. Take it down to the 4th
level.
====================================================================
--------------------------------
/AUREOLE: SEALED AREA - 4TH LEVEL\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
TEAR ALL BALM x5, CELESTIAL BALM x3, EP CHARGE EX, ROYAL GUARD, ARC
ROD, ERBE BLADES, VALKYRIE DRESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Head south till you reach a horizontal corridor. Go east and take
the south exit for a TEAR ALL BALM. Return and go through the east
door. Enter the west room when you're about halfway down in the next
area for another TEAR ALL BALM. Come out, continue east into the
room at the end for one more TEAR ALL BALM. Leave, and take the
south exit nearby. Follow the one way path into a corridor, head
into the south room for a monster chest containing a ROYAL GUARD.
Head north and through the east exit at the end into a hallway with
four rooms.
1) South room 1 - CELESTIAL BALM
2) South room 2 - CELESTIAL BALM
3) East room - CELESTIAL BALM
4) North corridor - ARC ROD (monster chest)
Backtrack all the way to the horizontal corridor (after you came off
the elevator). Basically, just keep going west/northwest from where
you're. Head for the west room there for a TEAR ALL BALM. Come out
and leave by the south exit right beside you. Head down the stairs
in the next area for three more exits:
1) West room - ERBE BLADES (monster chest)
2) South room - EP CHARGE EX
3) East corridor - Next destination
Once you looted the treaures, enter the east corridor and keep going
until you come to a hallway with two rooms, one above and one below
a set of stairs. The room above the stairs features a monster chest
with a VALKYRIE DRESS. Grab it and go downstairs into the lower room.
Follow the one way path until you're in front of a set of stairs.
Enter the room to your east for the last TEAR ALL BALM, then head up
the stairs into the elevator room. Take it down to the last level.
====================================================================

/AUREOLE: SEALED AREA - BOTTOM LEVEL\
====================================================================
ITEMS:
NONE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep going north until you reach the RECOVERY POINT. Save your game,
check your equipments and Quartz. Make sure you have Feather Brooch
and Lily Necklace equipped on your characters. As for Quartz setup,
make sure multiple members in your team can cast Earth Wall (having
Defense 3 in one of the slots is enough) and Clock Up EX (installing
Action 3, Cast 2 and another Quartz with a Time EV above 1 [eg. EP
Cut 3] in a single Quartz Line). You'll be fighting three battles
consecutively, you won't get any chance to switch party members or
equipments once the battle starts.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 25: COLONEL RICHARD
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Colonel Richard
HP: 11480
Weakness: None
Name: Photo Judge x2
HP: 6200
Weakness: None
Do not worry about reserving EP, your party will be fully restored
before the subsequent boss battle.
Take out the Photo Judges first, otherwise, you'll have a hard time
getting your spells out. You've faced them countless times via
opening monster chests in this dungeon, these ones aren't that much
different. They can fire Atomic Missle at you for wide area damage,
and they have higher HP, but that's pretty meh if you ask me.
Start by casting Clock Up EX on your best mage, if you have Kloe in
your party, use Impose on Richard to reduce his Crafts' power. If
you have Cast 2 equipped on your characters, you can most definitely
get your spells out without delay. Use your best area or single
target Arts on the droids, it might take a few casts to take them
down.
Once the Photon Judges are out of the way, you can take your sweet
time with Richard. He usually attacks with different type of flashy
Crafts. Damage-wise, they aren't too devastating. The only thing to
watch out for is his S-Craft, which he uses when you pound him too
hard. It's a single target attack that knocks off 1000 to 1800 HP
from a character, depending on his/her DEF. Kloe's Impose will help
immensely here, if you can debuff Richard and pull off Estelle's
Barrage S-Craft during the critical turn bonus, you can easily take
away 1/3 of his total health.
Watch the scenes that follow, your party will be fully restored, get
ready to face the next boss.
++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 26: REVERIE
++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Reverie
HP: 12000
Weakness: None
Name: Left Forceps
HP: 3000
Weakness: None
Name: Right Forceps
HP: 6000
Weakness: None
You can save your EP if you want, since you won't be restored for
the next boss fight. Honestly, with the large number of EP recovery
items you receive in this dungeon, I don't see any reason not to use
them when you're low on EP.
Start by casting Clock Up EX on everyone, if you don't have this, use
Clock Up or area spells.
The Left Forceps only takes magical damage, while the Right Forceps
only takes physical damage. The Left Forceps acts as the healer, so
you're best taking it out ASAP with your higher level spells. This
shouldn't take long since it only has 3000 HP.
Once that's done, start attacking the Right Forceps with your melees
and Crafts. If it starts using spells, use Estelle's Hard Break or
other characters' magic impeding Crafts to stop it. Use S-Craft if
you get a critical turn bonus. Watch out for Reverie's belly laser
thing, it takes a turn to prepare it fires in a straight line. Should
the beam hit any character, he/she loses ~1100 HP. Obviously, moving
away from it if your characters are standing in the line of fire is
your top priority.
When both Forceps have been dealt with, just throw your best spells
at Reverie and it'll fall soon after.
What good does a mecha do if it can't even combine and fuse? To make
up for the overly easy boss fights so far, Reverie assembles its two
Forceps on itself, this is where the true boss battle begins.
++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 27: REVERIE
++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Reverie
HP: 20000
Weakness: None
As usual, start by casting Clock Up EX on everyone. Make sure you
get your spells out before Reverie's turn, or it'll use AA Canceler.
Reverie will use its turns to summon a bunch of Alpha Drones, which
fire lasers that do around 300 damage per hit. Don't bother taking
these down, Reverie will simply summon more if they're gone. If you
get too close to Reverie, it'll punch the ground, generating a
shockwave that damages anyone within its radius. My advice? Keep
your distance and use Orbal Arts instead of melees.
Focus all your spells on Reverie, use your strongest single target
Arts and keep firing at it. Use S-Crafts, don't conserve CP, because
when Reverie's HP goes down to 2/3, its AA Canceler system will be
disabled, and it'll use Death Rage on a random member in your team.
This attack guarantees instant K.O. if the target's HP is less than
2700, so if it chooses someone with 200 CP, well tough luck.
Aside from Death Rage, Reverie can also use Annihilation, which does
~1000 damage to the entire party. This skill requires preparation,
so you get some turns in between to cast Earth Wall. Doing so will
nullify Annihilation's damages completely.
Following the execution of Annihilation, Reverie will enter a cool
down phase, which significantly reduces its defense. Use this chance
to attack with everything you've got, S-Crafts, Orbal Arts, etc.
Don't bother waiting for turn bonuses, and forget about accumulating
CP to 200. JUST USE THEM!
When Reverie's HP is down to 1/3, it cannot use Annihilation any
longer. Watch for Death Rage, revive and heal if necessary, keep
attacking and you'll emerge victorious.
Another scene later...
++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 28: REVERIE
++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Reverie
HP: 5000
Weakness: None
This is not a boss fight. The poor robot is completely crippled, it
can't do anything on its turn. Your characters, on the other hand,
have maxed HP/EP/CP gauges. Unleash your S-Crafts and watch your
enemy explode.
Note that this battle won't happen if your Bracer Rank is below 5,
it doesn't affect the ending or anything, you just miss the ultimate
omgwtfbbq hax0rz pwnage.
Enjoy watching Cassius' Falcon Punch, after some dialogues, you'll
be back in GRANCEL.

You'll receive 12 BP and the RECOMMENDATION letter from Elnan. With
all five letters, Estelle and Joshua are now full fledged Bracers,
proven by the BRACER EMBLEM awarded to them by Cassius.

*****************************
Time Limit: Before going to the resting spot
Go back and talk to Olivier inside the bar in GRANCEL CASTLE one
more time to complete this quest.
You'll automatically receive 3 BP and 2000 MIRA upon completion.
Go to EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE in GRANCEL - EAST BLOCK and purchase a
copy of LIBERL NEWS - SPECIAL to complete your collection.
You're now free to go and talk to NPCs in different areas of GRANCEL,
but if you want to push the story forward, go to the resting area
north of EDEL DEPARTMENT STORE and choose to rest for a long scene.
Did you see the plot-twist coming? :)
When you have control over Estelle, go east and up the stairs. Keep
moving west until you find Joshua. Watch the last few scenes, and
enjoy the ending (as well as the trailer for the sequel)!

3. QUEST GUIDE [QUS00]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There are three types of quests:
1) Story Quests
2) Optional Quests
3) Hidden Quests
Story Quests are what they are, completing them advance the story. I
will not be listing those here because that's what the Walkthrough
section is for.
Optional Quests are missions you can take on by reading bulletin
board inside each city's guild. Completing them yield you BP, mira
and other goodies such as recipes, equipments, etc. Your main source
of income relies on the successful completion of quests, and your
Bracer Rank rises as you accumulate more BP. I personally think it's
imperative that you take your time and those optional quests. Some
of them are boring, sure, but others give you insights into NPCs'
lives, which is one of the reasons why the world of Trails feels so
alive and realistic.
Most Optional Quests have time limits, and can be divided into long,
medium and short durations as represented by (L), (M), and (S)
behind each quest's title. They change when the main plot progresses.
If you missed a quest by advancing the main plot too far, you'll
have to complete it in the next playthrough. Therefore, finishing
them as soon as they appear is the best way to go.
Hidden Quests are secret missions not listed on the bulletin board.
They are usually triggered by talking to NPCs in towns. Completing
them yield bonus BP and mira. If you're planning on collecting all
368 BP, you should definitely do them.

OPTIONAL QUESTS [QUS02]
O=O=O=O=O=O=O=o
****************************
QUEST 1: FIND THE SHINY ROCK
****************************
Time Limit: Complete before entering MALGA MINE
Talk to Charles (kid with purple hair) behind the ORBMENT FACTORY,
then examine the smoky sewers in front of RINON GENERAL GOODS, then
enter the SEWERS (behind the Church), and look for the rock at the
end of the path (without crossing the bridge), return it to Charles
to receive DRILL MEATBALL x5. Report back to Aina to receive 2 BP
and 30 MIRA.
***************************
QUEST 2: MILCH ROAD MONSTER
***************************
Time Limit: Complete before visiting Nial at the HOTEL
Wanted beasts are usually stronger than your average foes, so be
sure that you're at least Level 3 or higher before taking them on.
Exit west of ROLENT and you'll find yourself on MILCH ROAD, your
target is located on the path leading to VERTE BRIDGE CHECKPOINT
(basically the third screen of MILCH ROAD). It is a unique looking
plant that does not attack/run from you. You'll be asked if you
wanted to exterminate it when you approach it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: PINE PLANT
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Pine Plant
HP: 500
Weakness: Fire
These folks can sel-destruct, if you get them to 1/10 of their HP,
stay away from them and use long range attacks to finish them off.
I just focused on casting Fire Bolt, combined with occasional melee
attacks to get the job done. Heal when necessary. You'll receive
3 BP and 600 MIRA for this.
****************************
QUEST 3: ORBMENT REPLACEMENT
****************************
Time Limit: Complete before going to MILGA MINE
Talk to Freddy inside ORBMENT FACTORY and he'll give you the code
and ORBMENT LIGHT. The password is 544818. Exit west of ROLENT, keep
going until you reach the far end of the second screen on MILCH ROAD
to examine the broken road lamp. Your party will be attacked by a
swarm of enemies, and you have to make a choice on who should handle
the repairs. If you choose Estelle, you'll need to enter the correct
password later on, this won't happen if you choose Joshua.
Anyway, defeat the flying cats, and if you happened to pick Estelle,
select "544818" as the code for the extra BP. Report back to Freddy
for an IMPEDE 2 Quartz.
You'll receive 4 BP, IMPEDE 2, and 600 MIRA as rewards.
*************************
QUEST 4: SOLDIER TRAINING
*************************
Time Limit: Complete before visiting Nial at the HOTEL
Exit west of ROLENT, when you reach the intersection on MILCH ROAD,
head west one screen until you reach VERTE BRIDGE CHECKPOINT.
Talk to Sergeant Ashton inside and win the mock battle against two
soldiers for 2 extra BP (5 BP total) and 200 extra MIRA (700 MIRA
total).
**********************
QUEST 5: MUSHROOM HUNT
**********************
Time Limit: Complete before taking the reporters on a tour
Talk to the merchant named Orvid at ROLENT LANDING PORT. Exit
northwest of ROLENT onto MALGA TRAIL, head north until you come to
the intersection leading to MALGA MINE, take the eastern path, then
the eastern path again on the next screen when you encounter another
intersection, this should take you to a deadend with a patch of
grass you can examine. Do so and you'll obtain the FIREFLY FUNGUS,
which ends up attracting a bunch of enemies for a quick battle.
There's also a treasure chest below with a WHITE BRACELET in it.
Hand it over to the merchant and you'll receive 3 BP and 700 MIRA.
****************************
QUEST 6: MEDICAL NECESSITIES
****************************
Time Limit: Complete before crossing VERTE BRIDGE
If you haven't been fleeing from normal encounters, chances are you
already have part of the items required for this quest:
1) MONSTER WING: Bug type enemies drop these
2) BEAR CLAW: MISTWALD
To get to MISTWALD, exit south of ROLENT, continue moving south for
two screens, then east at the intersection (southwestern path leads
to GURUNE GATE). MISTWALD is a forest maze, you cannot use your map
here. Upon entering, head north, when you come to an intersection,
take the east path till you see a treasure chest containing a TEAR
BALM in it, keep going down the path, and you should reach a deadend
with a patch of grass that has some yellow flowers that you can
examine. Do so and you'll receive BEAR CLAW.
Before you head back to ROLENT, you might wanna use this opportunity
to visit to GURUNE GATE and buy a VEGETABLE SANDWICH from the chef
located in the room directly across from the reception counter.
Once you obtained the above, talk to Father Divine inside ROLENT
CHAPEL. You will receive 3 BP and 250 MIRA.
********************
QUEST 7: LOST KITTEN
********************
Time Limit: Complete before visiting Nial at the HOTEL
Talk to Adi standing in front of the cafe and start looking for her
lost cat. Check the following places in order:
1) North of the CLOCK TOWER
2) In front of the guild
3) Eastern side of the CLOCK TOWER
4) Inside the church
5) Second floor inside the church
Report to Aina for 2 BP and 500 MIRA
******************************
QUEST 8: ELIZE HIGHWAY MONSTER
******************************
Time Limit: You have to deal with this in order to get to MISTWALD,
so there's really no time limit for this one.
You can wait this one out until Scherazard joins you, or you can do
it now, it's your choice. If you choose to take on the challenge now,
make sure Estelle and Joshua are well equipped, the enemy hits hard,
and can take more than half of your HP with one hit.
Exit south of ROLENT, keep going south on ELIZE HIGHWAY until you
reach the bridge on the second screen. Choose to exterminate it for
a battle.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT 02: RHINOCIDER
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Rhinocider
HP: 500
Weakness: None
Start by casting Clock Up with Joshua on all your characters, once
that's done, spam your elemental Orbal Arts and heal when required.
It shouldn't take more than 6 spells to finish it off.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1000 MIRA when you report to Aina.
***********************
QUEST 9: LETTER CARRIER
***********************
Time Limit: Before you cross VERTE BRIDGE
Deliver FR. DIVINE'S LETTER to Father Holstein in BOSE. Required for
Quest 11. You'll receive 2 BP and 800 MIRA.
***************************
QUEST 10: EAST BOSE MONSTER
***************************
Southeast of the sign post that says "North: Nebel Valley", there is
a slight indent of an area, you'll get an option to exterminate some
scorpion bosses, this is an optional quest which you haven't viewed
yet at Bose's Bracer Guild. You can come back later if you want, I
chose to exterminate them now. Before you do so, make sure at least
two of your members can cast Air Strike, if the remaining person can
cast Earth-based elemental attacks, that would be ideal, but it's
not exactly mandatory.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: SCORPIONS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: King Scorpion
HP: 380
Weakness: Earth
Name: Queen Scorpion x3
HP: 314
Weakness: Wind
Looks like the king has quite a harem, must be very exhausting for
him every night. Anyhoo, squish the Queen Scorpions first, if you
kept Schera's default orbment setup, she can cast Air Strike on them.
I put IMPEDE 2 on Estelle, which quickens the process. Have Joshua
cast Clock Up on everyone. The Queen Scorpions can cause paralysis
when they strike, paralysis prevents you from using melee attacks,
which is pretty meh, consider that you're using Orbal Arts mainly.
That said, those stings hurt! With my current gears, they do about
100+ damage per hit, you definitely want to end this battle as soon
as possible. If you have anyone with a CP at 200, you may want to
unleash his/her S-Craft on King Scorpion, that should take it out
right away. You can also cast Earth-based elemental spells on it,
I didn't own an Earth Quartz at the time, so I just used my S-Craft.
You'll receive 2 BP and 800 Mira once you report to Lugran at the
guild in BOSE.
***************************
QUEST 11: INGREDIENT SEEKER
***************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
Talk to Gwen inside ANTEROSE RESTAURANT's kitchen northeast of BOSE
MARKET, and hand over five MONSTER FOWL MEAT. You should have enough
if you don't run from battles all the time in ROLENT. If you don't
have enough, you can farm for it by killing Rimera and on EISEN ROAD.
In addition to 3 BP and 800 MIRA, Gwen will also pass the recipe
LIBERL OMELET to Estelle.
**************************
QUEST 12: RAVENNUE MONSTER
**************************
Time Limit: Before talking to Nial inside BOSE's CAFE
Exit west of BOSE onto WEST BOSE HWY, keep moving till the path
starts going northeast, look to the corner of the road for a chest
that contains a REVIVAL BALM. Keep moving until you see the next
intersection with a sign post. Go north onto RAVENNUE TRAIL. This is
a one way path, just keep moving till you reach RAVENNUE VILLAGE.
Talk to Elder Reisen inside his house, which is behind the inn. You
can now go through the exit to the north.
Move until you see the path branches. Take the eastern path, and go
southeast for a chest with a TEAR BALM. Backtrack, this time, head
northeast for a DEATHBLOW 2 Quartz. Finally, backtrack and take the
nothern route, do not be distracted by those little branch-offs on
the way, keep going north till the path turns west, you should find
a chest containing BEAST STEAK. Now go all the way back to the first
branching point and head west to the next area.
Save first, move to the intersection and head west and you'll be
attacked by a boss.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: FATE SPINNER
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Fate Spinner
HP: 508
Weakness: None
This thing hits hard even with the newly bought armors from BOSE. If
you didn't upgrade your equipments, you might struggle here.
Cast Clock Up on your party members if you can, and spam your Arts,
forget about melee attacks, its skin's too thick for that. Don't use
any Earth-based elemental attacks. Heal if your HP falls below 200,
and use S-Crafts if you're in danger.
Defeat it completes Quest 12. Return to RAVENNUE VILLAGE for a short
scene. Report to Lugran when you're back in BOSE for 4 BP and 1500
MIRA.
***************************
QUEST 13: WEST BOSE MONSTER
***************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
Keep moving west until you reached the third area of WEST BOSE HWY,
starting counting the Orbment Lamps on either side for the road,
when you found the fifth one, look to the opposite side and you
should see the giant fish monster waiting to be exterminated. Before
you engage it, make sure to equip Defense 1 on one or more of your
characters, doing so will make this battle much easier.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: THUNDER QUAKE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Thunder Quake
HP: 1844
Weakness: Earth
Earth elemental spells do twice the damage, so spam Stone Hammer
like mad! This bad fishboy can use Worldly Shock, a lightning attack
that damages your entire party anywhere between 130 to 190 HP, and
it uses it EVERY SINGLE TURN. The good thing is, if you manage to
stay alive, your characters' CP bars will rise quickly, allowing
them to unleash S-Crafts in rapid succession. The battle might take
a while because of its high HP, fortunately its defense is fairly
weak, so it balances out a bit.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1200 MIRA upon successful completion.
**************************
QUEST 14: BEAR CLAW SURVEY
**************************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
This quest only appears when you successfully completed Quest 9:
Letter Carrier. Talk to the old man selling medicine by the right
entrance of BOSE MARKET.
Go to NEBEL VALLEY, take the west path after entering, keep going
until you are underneathe a wooden bridge, there are two dead trees
that are kind of positioned at a 30 degree angle just a little
further in. Below them you will find the BEAR CLAW required to
complete this quest. Grab it and hand it over to the old guy when
you're back in BOSE.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1000 MIRA.
******************************
QUEST 15: NEBEL VALLEY MONSTER
******************************
Time Limit: Before going to VALLERIA SHORE
Take the west path when you first enter NEBEL VALLEY, just keep
going down the long winding road until you find the boss. Save your
game and make sure someone in your team can cast Fire-based Arts.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: MASTER CRYON
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Master Cryon
HP: 815
Weakness: Fire
Name: Boiled Egger G
HP: 320
Weakness: Fire
Name: Boiled Egger R
HP: 415
Weakness: Water
This will be an easy fight if you have area-based Fire spells like
Fire Bolt EX, but chances are, you don't have it. Start by casting
Clock Ups on your Fire spell users. If your magic isn't strong
enough, and you don't get turn bonuses, the Boiled Eggers will more
than likely survive. Since they explode upon dying, finishing them
off with melees is risky. Good thing Schera's here. In case any of
the Eggers survived the initial attack, Schera's long-range whip
can get the job done. Use S-Crafts if you can, they'll shorten the
tedious wait process for everyone.
Master Cryon's spell can take ~200 HP off a single target, heal if
you find your HP to be below 250. This thing doesn't explode like
the Eggers, so don't be afraid to use melee on it if you don't have
enough people with Fire Bolts.
You get 5 BP and 2000 MIRA as rewards.
************************
QUEST 16: ESCORT REQUEST
************************
Time Limit: Before going to ABANDONED MINE
Talk to the man in the room on the first floor of BOSE's HOTEL, and
accept his request. Talk to him again at the west exit of BOSE, keep
going west on WEST BOSE HWY till you reach KRONE TRAIL.
If this is your first time here, you can grab some items on the way.
Note that you can't shift your camera angle here. Head west till you
reach the first intersection, then take the south path for a TEAR
BALM.
As soon as you reach the bridge, you'll be ambushed by some Creepy
Sheeps, choose to charge through the front for an extra BP. You'll
have to fight two groups of four. They are pretty weak, and any of
your elemental magics are effective against them. Keep heading west.
Move south on the next intersection for a monster chest containing
PEARL EARRING. You'll need to deal with four Wisdoms, which are
slightly prone to Fire. They're quick and can charge Shadow Spear,
which has a 10% instant kill effect. Joshua should have learned his
Flicker Craft by now, you can delay enemy turns with it. Use it
strategically so you can grab all the turn bonuses. Concentrate
your attacks on one Wisdom a time and watch out for NPC's HP. If
he ends up eating two Shadow Spears, it's game over for you. Of
course, you can escort him to KRONE PASS first, then come back for
this item when you're on your way back to BOSE, it's your choice.
Continue west to reach KRONE PASS. You'll receive 5 BP and 1200
MIRA assuming you made the right choice.
********************************
QUEST 17: NEW ANSEL PATH MONSTER
********************************
Time Limit: No limit as you have to kill them in order to get to
VALLERIA SHORE
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT: AMBER TURTLES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Amber Turtle x6
HP: 300
Weakness: Fire
I don't know what's so "turtle" about them, they look like jellies...
Physical attacks don't work on them, so you need to use Fire-based
spells. They aren't strong, the only problem is they gang up on you,
which could pose a problem because there are so many of them and the
spells take two turns to release. Heal when needed and be patient,
the battle may take longer than you expect.
You'll receive 5 BP and 1500 MIRA when you report to Lugran.
*********************
QUEST 18: STOLEN RING
*********************
Time Limit: Before going through KRONE PASS
The treasure is located in one of the chests when you assault Sky
Bandit's hideout in Chapter 1, you can head to BOSE - SOUTH BLOCK
and talk to the woman in the house to the far east of the map to at
the beginning of Chapter 2 to complete this quest. I haven't tested
whether or not you can still go back to the hideout to grab the ring
after Chapter 1 ends, but it's worth a try if you missed it somehow.
Report to Lugran to receive 3 BP and 2000 MIRA.
******************************
QUEST 19: GULL SEASIDE MONSTER
******************************
Time Limit: No limit as you must defeat them to get to RUAN
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS FIGHT: JABBA AND FRIENDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Jabba
HP: 389
Weakness: Water
Name: Stove Plant x2
HP: 389
Weakness: Water
Name: Shark Gator
HP: 490
Weakness: All
Get rid of the Stove Plants first, their Pale Flames may confuse
your party members. Cast Aqua Bleed on Jabba, two of these spells
outta take it out. Shark Gators hits hard, but move slow, once you
clear Jabba and Stove Plants, you can just melee them till they die.
Leave the healing to Kloe, this battle shouldn't take more than five
minutes.
You'll receive 4 BP and 1500 MIRA when you report to Jean.
*********************************
QUEST 20: AURIAN CAUSEWAY MONSTER
*********************************
Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
Outside SAPPHIRL TOWER, southwest of where you come down the stairs,
you'll find a small open area with the giant fish monster that needs
to be exterminated, make sure you're at least level 18, and have
accessories that prevent mute on your spell casters before you take
on this challenge. I highly suggest that you come back once Kloe
joins your party as a controllable character. But if you wanna do
this now, here's my strategy:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: HELMET CRABS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Helmet Crab x5
HP: 530
Weakness: All
Name: Mint Pom
HP: 248
Weakness: None
Assuming that Kloe hasn't joined your party yet, start by casting
any offensive spell on a single Helmet Crab. DO NOT USE PHYSICAL
ATTACKS ON HELMET CRABS! If you do, your attacks will be reflected
back at you. The two spells from Estelle and Joshua should be enough
to take out one crab.
When it's the crab's turn, each crab will use its turn to summon a
Mint Pom. Start preparing your area spells, Stone Impact and Hell
Gate are just a few choices here. Aim your spell at the Hermet Crabs,
chances are, once they finished summoning Mint Poms, they'll begin
moving toward you, thus causing them to cluster together. If both
of your spell landed on multiple enemies, wiping out one or two
Helmet Crabs along with some Poms, you can continue this strategy
until all Helmet Crabs are erased from the map. Mint Poms are
vulnerable to physical attacks, you can just melee them afterwards.
Now, the crabs are capable of inflicting mute status on you, so if
you don't have Kloe in your party, you'll either need to buy the
accessory that prevents this, or some item that can relief the seal.
You won't have a chance against the crabs if you can't chant spells,
since they reflect all physical attacks.
You'll receive ZERO SHOT X (item for Quest 21), 4 BP and 1500 MIRA
as rewards.
****************************
QUEST 21: FIND THE PROTOTYPE
****************************
Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
If you've successfully completed Quest 20: Aurian Causeway Monster,
you should receive the prototype gun.
Talk to Karl upstairs in JOAN ARMS & GUARDS to hand over the gun,
he'll give you an ATTACK 2 Quartz in return.
Report to Jean for 3 BP and 1000 MIRA.
***********************
QUEST 22: WAREHOUSE KEY
***********************
Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
Talk to Harg standing near the harbor west of the CAFE in RUAN -
SOUTH BLOCK. You'll need to go down a set of stairs and pass that
worker with the yellow helmet before you can find him.
Afterwards, head down the bridge towards the warehouse, then turn
west down the set of stairs, keep going through the narrow pathway
until you reach the second wooden platform, examine that area. Go
to the second floor of the CAFE here and examine the fishing rods.
Talk to the bartender on the first floor to borrow the PROGRESSIVE
ROD. Go back to wooden platform and use the rod to fish out the
WAREHOUSE KEY. Talk to Harg again to complete the quest.
Report to Jean for 2 BP and 1000 MIRA.
******************************
QUEST 23: MAINTENANCE DELIVERY

Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY

Block), and talk to the bartender there, he'll ask you deliver an
AZELIA ROSE to the grumpy old fart.
Anyway, exit north of RUAN, keep going until you reach MANORIA
VILLAGE. Be sure to buy a SPICY ANCHOVY at the item shop here. Take
the northern exit and keep going till you reach the intersection
that leads to VARENNE LIGHTHOUSE. Go all the way to the top floor
and talk to the old man there. If you brought the two extra items
with you, he will reward you with a WORK HELMET and a GLADIATOR
HEADBAND.
You should receive 4 BP and 1000 MIRA as rewards.
*******************************
QUEST 24: SECRET OF THE OLD MAP
*******************************
Time Limit: Before going to JENIS ROYAL ACADEMY
If you rescued Jimmy back on GULL SEASIDE WAY, you get two more BP
and 1000 MIRA.
Head to the CHAPEL and talk to him there, if you followed my guide

this quest right here. If not, check the GULL SEASIDE WAY section in
the walkthrough for more information.
You'll receive 5 BP and 2000 MIRA as rewards.
***************************

VILLAGE. Talk to Amelia near the northern exit, then take that exit

Water spells. Kloe's Blue Impact will take out one with one cast,
if Estelle or Joshua doesn't have that spell, cast Aqua Bleed or
Soul Blur. If those aren't available, use melee, but be wanred, the
Eggers explode when they die, so expect to eat some damage.
After this, escort the food maniac back to MANORIA VILLAGE to finish

HP: 389
Weakness: All
Name: Corn Mover
HP: 480
Weakness: Fire
Start by getting rid of the Stove Plants. It shouldn't take anything
more than a single Aqua Bleed. Have Joshua cast Hell Gate on grouped
enemies, his chanting should be fairly fast if you installed the
Cast 2 Quartz on him.
The Jabbas usually cast Stone Hammer, occasionally they roll up to
you and use melee, which leeches off your HP to replenish theirs,
and it hurts quite a bit, too. If you didn't modify Kloe's Orbments,
she should have Blue Impact by default. Casting that will take away
~800 HP off a single Jabba, combine that with Joshua's Hell Gate,
they should go down fairly quickly. The rest of the enemies are just
there for you to pound.
You should receive 5 BP and 2000 MIRA as rewards.

multi-target spells easy to hit. However, it is usually at this

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: MERCURY VIPER
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Mercury Viper
HP: 1766
Weakness: Fire & Wind
Name: Bane Cobra x4
HP: 766
Weakness: Fire & Wind
This fight can be difficult. The Bane Cobras can summon more of
their friends to battle, however, since this makes most of them
clump together in a tiny area, you should be able to use Tita's
Smoke Cannon and other area spells (eg. Aerial, Hell Gate, etc.) to
quickly dispose of them.
The snakes primary method of attack is Venom, which takes away ~200
HP with 100% chance of inflicting poison on you. Therefore, having
the White Bracelet on your characters will help immensely. Mercury
Viper isn't anything special, it's just a giant version of its
underlings with more HP. Once the small eggplants are gone, you can
smash it however you see fit.

*******************************
QUEST 36: RITTER ROAD MONSTER 2

BOSS FIGHT: BLOODY SABER AND FRIENDS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Bloody Saber
HP: 2450
Weakness: Water & Wind
Name: Solid Dozer x2
HP: 1380
Weakness: None
Name: Attack Doberman x2
HP: 1180
Weakness: All
Let's talk about the ugly stuffs first. Bloody Saber can leech your
HP just by attacking you, and it's fast. It also uses Death Throes
on its companions when it dies, greatly enhancing their ATK/SPD.
Solid Dozers can delay your turn when they attack you.
So what to do? Start by casting Clock Up EX on your healer. If you
don't have this magic, use Clock Up instead. It's likely that before
you even get your turn, your enemies have already gathered around
you. If this is the case, use Aerial, Hell Gate, Hurricane, etc. on
them. Heal with La Teara. If Joshua's CP is at 200, look for a good
turn bonus and unleash Black Fang, it should theoretically take out
everything except Bloody Saber.
Once the underlings are gone, the rest of the battle should just be
a heal/attack game. Since Bloody Saber sucks blood, make sure you
finish it quickly.
You'll receive 6 BP and 3000 MIRA as rewards.

SEWER. They are small bluish green creatures with two large claws.

you've been paying attention to the type of enemies encountered in
this area, you'd recognize them as unique new enemies.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: SCISSOR HANDS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Name: Scissor Hands x8
HP: 980
Weakness: All
These guys have 300% weakness against elemental spells, if you can
cast Aerial, set the center of the circle right in front of your
character (assuming the turn you unleash this spell is after your
enemies move), and watch those poor losers rush into you and vanish.
If you don't have Aerial, use other multi-target area Arts and aim
at different Scissor Hands so that your magics overlap and cover
every single enemy. Scissor Hands' melees do carry a 10% instant K.O.
effect, unless you deliberately waste your turns messing around,
it's unlikely to happen.
You'll receive 8 BP and 3000 MIRA when you report to Elnan.

******************************
Time Limit: Before rescuing Princess Klaudia

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONAL BOSS FIGHT: BONE FISHES

Name: Bone Fish x4
HP: 1600
Weakness: Fire
Use multi-target spells and Crafts. Fire-based ones are optimal but
non-essential. The fishes' Freezing Breath is an area attack with
the chance of inflicting Freeze status on your characters. Use Curia
if you didn't equip any freeze charm. Frankly, I haven't seen my
party frozen as a result of this attack, if you time your spells
well, the battle should be over in as few as four turns (excluding
enemy turns).
You'll get 8 BP and 3000 MIRA after reporting to Elnan.

-Book List- [IFL04]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are basically two collections of books you should keep a
constant eye on: Liberl News Issues and Carnelia. Obtaining every
chapter of Carnelia enables you to exchange them for the best weapon
for either Estelle or Joshua (you can only pick one person). Liberl
News Issues are interesting to read, but you do not receive any
rewards for completing this collection.
It is important to point out that the timeframe for obtaining each
chapter of the Carnelia series is extremely narrow and restricted.
Miss your chance and you'll have to wait till your next playthrough.
The time for obtaining Liberl News Issues is slightly more flexible,
you can usually buy an earlier issue from the town's item shop. So
say you missed buying Issue 1 in ROLENT, you can get both Issue 1
and Issue 2 from the item shop in BOSE.

-Fishing List- [IFL05]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fishing isn't a huge component of the gameplay in this game, it
becomes more important in the sequel. When you reach VALLERIA SHORE,
in an attempt to investigate matter related to Sky Bandit activity,
you'll be given the chance to fish. Depending on the choices you
pick, you'll end up with different items. You can try and fish ten
times before the game terminates your expedition. Below are charts
that outline the results of your combined selections, Salmon is
probably the best reward you can get.

-Shining Poms- [IFL06]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have been fighting all your battles, you should come across
them eventually. And if you didn't land a preemptive strike, you'll
see most of them escape even before your character gets his/her turn.
If you do get to attack first, well, melee only takes less than 1/10
of its HP, not to mention it frequently misses; and spells do 0
damage. What's the point of fighting these evil creatures then? Two
reasons:
1. You want to farm Sepiths quickly
2. You want to power level
Killing Shining Poms gives you the maximum number of Sepiths you can
get for a single battle, not only that, if your party level is low,
these foes yield a HUGE amount of experience points that basically
power level your entire party. Sounds awesome doesn't it? The only
problem is, how do you kill them?
There are generally two approaches that people take:
1. S-Crafts
2. Shadow Spear
3. Deathblow 2
I threw in a third method since you do get these rare Quartz during
the course of the game, but they are hard to come by and as far as I
know, you can't farm them. However, Deathblow 2 does guarantee 100%
instant death, in theory, if you successfully landed your attack on
Shining Poms, whether it's melee or spells, they will be eliminated.
But there are only so many Deathblow 2 available... unless you cheat,
it's not the most cost-effective approach.
So that leaves us with S-Crafts and Shadow Spear. There are pros and
cons to each, and there is no "which one's better" editor's choice.
Use whichever one you that makes the most sense to you.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
S-CRAFTS METHOD
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Let's talk about the S-Crafts approach first. To effectively kill
Shining Poms, you need to make sure at least two people in your
party have CP at 200. Now, when you see the Pom on your map, do not
run up to it head on, instead, assault it from behind. This warrants
a preemptive strike, which is important for two reasons:
1. You can act first, which is required for spell casting
2. You can escape and retry if you do not see a critical turn bonus
I'll explain the second point first because it's more relevant here.
You're more than likely require a critical turn bonus to finish the
Poms off in one strike. This is especially true for later chapters
where Shining Poms have higher DEF and HP. However, critical turn
bonuses appear randomly and it's likely that you won't see any when
you enter a battle with these creatures. If you have preemptive
strike, you can choose to run right on the first turn. When you're
back on the field map, just stand there until your invincibility
status disappears to re-enter the battle. You'll get preemptive
strike again, if you still don't see any critical turn bonus, repeat
the procedure until you do. The turn bonus does NOT have to appear
next to your characters' turns, when you execute S-Crafts and start
S-Breaks, you can hi-jack enemy turn to steal this bonus.
During early periods of the game, characters such as Estelle and
Joshua are only limited to one single target S-Craft (this is not
true if you're on your second playthrough with everything carried
over). Since Shining Poms come in groups of three, if the Bright
kids are your only party members, it'd takes quite a bit of luck to
defeat all three Poms. If you're farming Sepiths, this shouldn't be
a problem, two Shining Poms will max out the Sepiths obtained over a
single battle, killing the third Pom generates no Sepiths.
When Joshua learns his S-Craft Black Fang at level 23, things will
become much easier. Black Fang is an all attack that damages every
single enemy. Combine this with a critical turn bonus, and you can
have fried Shining Poms for dinner. If for some reason, Joshua was
unable to finish them off, you can seal the Poms' fate with other
members in your party. I should also mention that Deathblow 1, which
you get after reaching a specific Bracer Rank, helps tremendously if
you equipped it on Joshua. This Quartz inflicts 10% K.O. like Shadow
Spear, except, if you use Joshua's Black Fang, you're essentially
adding the effect of Shadow Spear on every single enemy. Thus, even
if Joshua couldn't finish the Poms off with his Black Fang, if he
has Deathblow 1 equipped on him, the Quartz might just fill in the
gaps for you!
Sounds pretty easy, eh? Here's the problem: raising CP to 200 is a
pain in the ass, especially when you don't have GLADIATOR BELT
equipped. You'll have to fight quite a few battles before you can
replenish the bars to their designated value. The task becomes even
more tedious if your characters' levels are higher than the baddies
you fight in the area. Normally, if the monsters are much stronger
than you, hitting them or getting hit by them rapid increases your
CP; if you're over-leveled, however, the rate of CP regeneration
declines drastically. GLADIATOR BELT, which automatically refills
the wearer's CP bar at the beginning of each turn is a godsend, and
is the most efficient way for CP regeneration. You can get two of
these during your first playthrough, definitely take advantage of
them. You can also combine GLADIATOR BELT and GLADIATOR HEADBAND for
max CP gain, but unless you're on your second+ playthrough, this
doesn't really mean much.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
SHADOW SPEAR METHOD
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
If you find CP regeneration too tedious and too time consuming for
farming Shining Poms, you might want to give this approach a go.
Shadow Spear is a low-tier Time elemental Orbal Art that instant
kills an enemy with 10% chance. Shining Poms are NOT resistent to
instant K.O., hence you can exploit this to your advantage. When you
execute this spell, its damage on the Pom will be 0, but if you're
lucky, it'll send its target straight to hell.
Now, 10% chance of instant death is pretty low. But in comparison to
CP refill, it's probably more efficient. Having four party members
capable of casting this Art once or twice in a roll should increase
the likelihood of inflicting this on Shining Poms. I know, I know,
statistically speaking, that's not right. But it's definitely faster
than roaming the field fighting low level monsters to slowly
regenerate your CPs to 200.
So what's the catch? Aside from the necessity of confronting the
Poms from their back to initiate a preemptive strike, you also need
to make sure characters who'll be casting Shadow Spear have Action
and Cast Quartz installed. Shining Poms are VERY agile, even when
you have a preemptive strike, there won't be too much time before
they get their turns. In other words, you should try and pull off as
many Shadow Spears as possible before the Poms act, and for this,
you need Action and Cast Quartz that boost your SPD or shorten your
chanting process.
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
COMBINE THE METHODS
o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Yup, you guessed it. You don't have to restrict yourself to one or
the other, you can combine Shadow Spear, S-Crafts and Deathblow 2
together.
I'll give you an example:
I used Joshua's Black Fang with the critical turn bonus and killed
one Shining Pom. The other two Poms were low on HP. Olivier has his
CP at 200, while Estelle and Kloe have theirs at over 100. I could
simply use Olivier's S-Crafts and eliminate the remaining Poms, but
I felt like a waste of CP. So I have all three of them cast Shadow
Spear on the SAME target. Lo and behold, Kloe's Shadow Spear instant
killed it. Unfortunately, I'm out of turns, so I hi-jacked the last
Pom's turn and used Estelle's S-Craft to finish it off.
If you can implement the above methods dynamically, farming Shining
Poms should be less frustrating.

Your shadow, like the stars,
dissolved and vanished into the morning sky.
Having lost your whereabout,
my mind is overflown with thoughts of you.
Whether it's strong or weak,
my heart will always seek out for you.
As long as I'm with you,
I won't fear what tomorrow will be like.
I want you to believe,
the time we spent together.
Truth or lie does not exist,
dawn breaks as morning arrives.
Even when the stars dissolve at dawn,
I will still be able to recognize your shine.
I don't know what goodbye is,
as I dream all alone.
At that time, in your eyes,
what was being reflected?
No one will be able to erase
the time when we were connected.
Whether it's loneliness or pain,
I want to share your feeling.
If our eyes could meet again,
our wishes will definitely come true.
Before the break of dawn, when I'm still dazzled,
the wind streaked my cheeks.
Your voice, your fragrance,
occupied everything around me.
Let go of the memory, spread its wings,
it will fly under your sky.
Even when the stars dissolve at dawn,
I will still be able to recognize your brilliance.
I love you, it's just that simple,
we will surely meet again.
